Chatting with Obama, by Bill O'Reilly*
http://www.billoreilly.com/column?pid=24183"Like him or not, you have to give Barack Obama credit for waging a
smart, focused campaign. Destroying the Clinton machine was a major
achievement and so was putting together a successful convention in
Denver. Obama is now firmly a part of U.S. history, no matter what
happens in the presidential election.
"The problem some Americans
continue to have with the Senator is that he is long on charisma but
short on detail. This frightens some voters. Who the heck is this guy,
anyway? So when Obama finally agreed to speak to me this week,
specifics were on my mind..."
I like!
No thanks!

Wow. I am stunned. While O'Reilly's insultingly ignorant spin is still ever-present ("The American substance abuser, for example, would derive the same benefit as a hard working, laid off worker would." - way to be fair and balanced), this column was both gracious and respectful. Very atypical from O'Reilly. Maybe he's come to the conclusion that insulting Obama and his supporters is not good for his long-term career.

@SC: I had to read it twice because my blips of shock kept distracting me.

what's with this constant trope that Obama is "short on detail" anyways?
No, I don't read O'Reilly's site. I was just curious as to how the meet went :p
