Say what you want about Bill O’Reilly, but he never shies away from surprising people. Take this weekend’s upcoming Parade magazine, in which the Fox News host writes a lengthy column headlined, “What President Obama Can Teach America’s Kids” (first reported by Politico).

This is just about as glowing as any profile of Barack Obama written by a fawning lefty. But there’s nothing like seeing it in print to get the full impact. Here’s a sneak peek:

The Fox News host, surrounded by children of various races, writing about our liberal, Democratic President. It’s enough to make Keith Olbermann throw up a little in his mouth.

Here are some passages:

As has been widely chronicled, Barack Obama had a tough childhood filled with instability and loneliness. However, that did not stop him from rising to become the most powerful man in the world. His breathtaking achievement presents five important lessons for all children.

Those lessons are forgiveness, respect, persistence, hard word, and ‘anything is possible.’

More, from the powerful conclusion:

What he has achieved in his 48 years is simply astounding. Consider the odds. The United States is a nation of more than 300 million citizens. Only one person is currently the Commander in Chief. That man had no fatherly guidance, is of mixed race, and had no family connections to guide him into the world of national politics. That adds up to one simple truth that every American child should be told: “If Barack Obama can become the President of the United States, then whatever dream you may have can happen in your life.”

For those who are absolutely floored, you probably don’t watch enough of The O’Reilly Factor. The top-rated cable news host undeniably leans right, but by no means can be grouped with conservative Sean Hannity or pseudo-conservative Glenn Beck.

What’s more, O’Reilly has a very clear respect for Obama that comes directly from the then-Senator’s decision to come on The Factor for a lengthy interview during the presidential campaign. It was a self-serving mission for both – Obama picked his appearance to compete with the Republican National Convention, O’Reilly got a multi-night, highly-rated ‘get.’ But there’s a reason VP candidate Sarah Palin wouldn’t go toe-to-toe with O’Reilly – he’s not an easy interview. That respect has translated to some dividends for Obama.

While Hannity plays “Carmina Burana” and Beck plants ‘is he racist’ seeds, O’Reilly stays largely above the fray. Still – some conservatives and liberals will be in for a surprise when they open their Sunday newspapers this weekend and see a smiling O’Reilly espousing the life lessons of our Commander in Chief.

I CANNOT wait to get my hands on the picture of Bill and the kids so I can cut it out and put it on my fridge. I’m laughing out loud.

O’Reilly, unlike his fellow Fox Newsers is part human.

Steve, O’Reilly has been kissing up to Obama for a long time. Remember his wimpy interview with Obama? That was a real joke!

O’Reilly, like myself, does not agree with on the vast majority of policy issues that are under consideration. You can totally dislike Obama’s politics, and still be in agreement with the points that O’Reilly makes in this article. The point is that he is seeking to make to kids is that you can overcome adversity and rise to a respectable position through hard work. It is not impossible, as some pushing the victimhood agenda might make kids think. O’Reilly isn’t talking about politics here. He is talking in a way that will hopeful motivate kids to have lofty aspirations. You can totally disagree with Obama, and hope that someone else becomes president ASAP, but you can still recognize the points that O’Reilly makes.

How can anyone call Glenn Beck.. a “pseudo-conservative”?

Makes no sense. He is a conservative (Capital c).

O’Reilly is deathly afraid of being labelled ‘Sean-Hannity-lite”

He is primarly a social conservative based on his strict Roman catholic background.

I hope O’Reilly included these important pointers in his article to America’s children:

How to Win in Life, Like Obama:

1) excel at reading (read Rules for Radicals);
2) excel at writing (so you can write your “autobiography” at an early age);
3) excel at math and accounting skills (tax and spend);
4) learn organizational skills (join ACORN);
5) join a church (like Rev. Wright’s);
6) learn history (even better, learn how to rewrite it);
7) take a stand for what you believe in (neutral is best);
8) learn lying skills (you can always deny later);
9)learn new skills, like using a teleprompter;
10) learn how to push twice as hard as your opponent;
11) learn how to make the most of a crisis;
12) learn how to take criticism (whine);
13) surround yourself with good friends (Rezco)
14) learn important laws (like bankruptcy).
15) learn how to exploit minorities and the disadvantaged (like you once were);
16) if you have political aspirations, move to Chicago.

If you think you can’t, remember: YES, YOU CAN!

This sermon by O’Reilly should be in the Hypocricy Book of Records.

O’Reilly the compassionate, elder mentor to our young. This man is a highly
paid bully pulpit entertainer whose peers include Michael Savage and
Russ Limbaugh. He is a vicious man who enjoys being vicious, a sadist
with a following of dangerous sycophants who mistake him for a patriot,
as they also mistake themselves and fail to understand that in one room
together they would have the makings of a mob.

And now this. Well the dictator of North Korea had a good if phony
week. Why not O’Reilly, now suddenly in our face as an aspiring saint?

O’Reilly has to be one of the most deluded men in America. I don’t want any of my grandchildren emulating this Marxist crudball and I really don’t care what kind of life he had. I can’t wait to boot his butt OUT of office in 2012.
