Yeah, I just saw that commercial, too. I guess you’re watching the Chicago/Seattle game.
I was thinking that O’Reilly would have to totally change his demeanor. He won’t be able to hector, deride and interrupt his interviewee. I wonder what that will do to O’Reilly in terms of how powerful he seems. If he has to be polite and respectful, I think he’ll lose most of his edge.
Of course, he could be his normal self and people will condemn him for being so disrespectful to the president. If he picks on the President, it’ll be like he’s inflaming left/right tensions. I’m sure his fans will love it, but he may turn off a lot of people that way.
I can see Obama doing this to put pressure on the right. Or because he’s a gambler. Or because he wants to counter those accusations that he won’t talk to right-leaning journalists.
Whatever. Should be interesting.
