      They need to get Bill out more often. He always does a good job against the opposition news network.

        Opposition? Burton was asked a series of questions, legitimate questions that Smith said were emailed from listeners. He was then given a platform for answering those questions and he did so.

        Just like in the time leading up to the election when Burton was on Fox almost daily, he got his opportunity to speak and bring the Obama campaign's and now administration's position to the public.

          Angry foaming teabagging terrorists whining about Obama and so-called "apology tour" is hardly a source of legitimacy, you hick.

            It is quite telling of the quality of the people here that they would approve of your hateful remarks, but they do! It is obviously the type of comments that they understand the best. Congratulations, you show the world what type of people you are.

              Fairlib has maybe a couple months history on site.
              Yourself? An old troll with a new name is something we've had occur. Familiar phrases, familiar atitudes usually give them away.

              That is actually one of his most lucid comments, he is trying to overcome his dificiencies. Duh-- answer me this.

          "Opposition" is the term that Fox News themselves use. What I like about Burton is he doesn't take it for granted that the questions eminating from their news models would be necessarily logical nor factual.

            A Fox exec has said that they were the opposition on "some issues", yes , but giving an Obama spokeperson an opportunity to make his point is hardly acting as "the opposition".

            Is it factual that MMFA implied that it was Smith that made those "suggestions" when he clearly stated that they were email questions from viewers.

              Yeah, he got some email from viewers. Some? What's some?
              Some?
              Do emails from within Fox count?
              Will he ask about male enhancement and how it applies to the president if he gets an email on that topic?
              Seems like the bosses have managed to get Shep back in line.

              Some is a Fox fave. When they're having trouble with a lead they fall back on the "some"... some are calling this trip an apology tour.
              And if "some" doesn't work there's always the handy Fox question lead... Is Obama smothering kittens late at night as some viewers claim?

              And I am certain that those viewers just came up with the idea of an "apology tour" on their own with NO coercing from Fox News. Riiiiiight ...

      If Bush had gave the same speech in the same setting the Right would be hailing it as the ballsiest speech ever by an American president.
