Why doesn’t he sit down with Beck? I’m no fan of Obamacare, and I am something of a fan of Glenn Beck, but let’s face it, he would clean Beck’s clock and could be a real catalyst to get his bill passed. Remember when Al Gore debated Ross Perot about NAFTA on Larry King? That was the pivotal moment in that debate. Obama should do it.

Unfortunately for Obama, Fox viewers are too smart to believe his Bull. Now, bring on the “Fox viewers are idiots!” comments. Obama evidentally feels the need to explain himself yet again, and is doing it on Fox. We’ve heard what you’re offering BO and we don’t want it!!

For once I agree with you Glynnis. Glenn said to call if he gets anything wrong, and strangely, the phone has never rung.

You make great sense, and your avatar is of my favorite character in American literature.

0(zero) would never sit down with Beck.

I thought that Obama would rather discuss it with High School students in Ohio. When you have as many viewers as Fox News you can not be ignored.

I respectfully disagree that BO would clean beck’s clock. I would LOVE to see that exchange though!

I wonder how big the bottle of aspirin was that got put in kusinichs face?

I think the result would be a version of a stalemate. Obama would make some point but Beck would also. I agree however, it would be an incredable meeting.

Michelle F:

I say that Obama would clean Beck’s clock not because of the substance, but rather because Glenn isn’t a professional interviewer and doesn’t know how to control the questioning. Even Eric Massa, that nutcase, pretty much controlled his interview with Glenn. Obama is a master at that situation. Also, Glenn would have to walk a fine line between being deferential towards Obama because he’s the President and not being too forceful. That’s hard to do. Hannity could do it well, but Glenn is, I fear, too new to do it well.

The funny thing Olby Sucks, is there is a clip of Dennis K screaming about how awful this would be for the country and now he’s voting for it. I can’t say i’m surprised, he did get to ride in air force one. That has to be worth something.

Real Royal King:

You have impeccable taste in American literature!

Finch, see I think that Beck would do well, because he would demand answers to questions and not just accept what Obama says and move, as in most interviews I’ve watched with him. Just my opine though.

But you may be right, if he thinks Obama isn’t telling the truth, it may be hard for him to keep his emotions in check! Perhaps that’s what needs to happen though. No matter how he handled the interview, he would be accused of attacking BO anyway.

lol Michelle,
you are so right! A typical liberal scream and yell about something but when offered a ride or a perk all morals and values go out the door.

MichelleF – Do you seriously expect the President to call Glenn Beck when he gets it wrong? Do you really?

Ted, according to Lawrence O’Donnell (and Mika), the White House calls Morning Joe to demand clarifications and corrections.

HeHe, good one Cecelia. Did you see the morning that they made the correction on air after getting a fax from the WH? That was priceless.

Ted, of course I don’t. But it’s sure fun to tweak them about it.

Oh, goodness, Michelle! I missed that one!

True story!

Actually Glenn Beck seems to keep all of the left busy. Beck could say that ice is cold and fire is hot….and Media Matters would issue a correction the next day. Then the lefty posters here would extol the cooling powers of flames for the next week.

Cecelia – okay, thanks for that informative update. So therefore, you think the Pres should call GB’s red phone. I don’t think even you are buying that one.

I’m not telling you what I think the White House should do, I’m telling you that they DO correct the hosts of one program, in REAL TIME.

Morning Joe doesn’t have near the audience or the buzz of Beck’s show.

Give it up Cecelia, Ted has driven many insane with his illogical logic.

Okay Cecelia, appreciate it. Now back to my question – MIchelleF – still think the Pres is going to call Glenn on the red phone and what is “illogical logic;” looking forward to this. Thanks in advance.

Ah, NO I don’t think they are going to call, which is what i ALREADY said. Illogical Logic, means “your logic” makes no sense whatsoever.

He not only won’t call the red phone, but remember, Obama hates to go anywhere where is “knife” can’t compete with a six shooter! So, they “returning” to the crime? Please, that is so absolutely LAME! So immature. So ridiculous it makes me laugh!! They should be embarrassed! The truth is hard for the President and the Administration to take. All the lies, disingenuousness, distortions from the White House and its cohorts ,,,has not worked…and nothing they can do will change that except: use illegal, devious methods to pass it!

Here’s the way it works. If Fox won’t present Obama’s views, they’re biased. And when they invite Obama on to express his views, they’re biased.

Im new to this site so bare with me but this is the third article I’ve read by Glynnis MacNicol and I have to say I don’t care for the obvious one sided opinion. In twitter land I had heard this was a good site to check out because of its equal opportunity feet to the fire blasting of both sides but I don’t get that from much of Glynnis’s writing at all. I’ll keep exploring the site and I hope it gets better and lives up to the hype. And just a side note, could Glynnis give any example of Beck ‘pedaling falsehoods’? I truly hate when people do that. If you’re going to say, and mean it, then please back it up. So far I’m not impressed and I hope other contributors are less obvious then Glynnis. But please correct me if I’m wrong because I would truly like to be.

HAHA, get used to it cjt4590, that’s all you get from Glynnis. She’s holdover from the Huff Post.

Obama looked terrible in the interview with Baeir. He was owned and he knew it.

And just a side note, could Glynnis give any example of Beck ‘pedaling falsehoods’? I truly hate when people do that. If you’re going to say, and mean it, then please back it up.

That is just something else you will have to get used to here. I’ve repeatedly asked the libs for examples of such things and you know what answer I get: “look it up yourself!” It’s what is called a drive by accusation and one that can NEVER back up.
