      Okay again, the guilty bully makes amends. Bravo. And I'm sure the other shoe will drop soon.

        Really another shoe or three drops even in this short segment.

        He stresses twice that Obama was succeeding with words, but his fans can read between those lines and know he is mainly giving Obama credit for rhetoric. (And the recently battered O'Reilly can add a pseudo fair and balanced check mark to his name.) The word "successful" (not necessarily denoting approval) is of course paired with the factoid that the "world press" liked the speech, which means that parochial-minded Fox viewers should be suspicious.

        And that whole opening "the war on terror gets real for President Obama" bit was a way of painting Obama as some unrealistic naif.

          He also pointed out in the show that Obama was America's best hope of patching things up with the Muslim World, so dispite your criticism he is giving Obama the benefit of the doubt in his approach to the situation.

            Unlike Hannity and Beck, O'Reilly does sometimes exhibit some balance (even though imo it's usually tactical). If you have a link where you think he's really giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on this issue, by all means post it and I'll take a look.

              His talking points from 6/3 and 6/4 are mostly supportive of the President's approach, not total agreement but for the most part he supports him. On 6/5 he disagrees with Obama on Gitmo....http://www.foxnews.com/oreilly/

      Let me guess, William Buckley's ghost came to visit him last night and told him that he would be carrying around heavy notepads and thorny loofahs up his ass for all eternity if he didn't mend his ways?

      Look at BO trying to be all likable and friendly. But isn't this part of the BO MO? First a compliment then comes the put down soon afterward.

        Bill trying to be nice is kind of creepy and disgusting. If someone is dumb enough to accept his apology, next thing you know it he'll be leaving calls on their answering machine about loofahs and falafels. What the hell does he plan to do with a falafel? I don't even want to know.

      Wow , MMFA has really outdone thenselves this time, they posted this thread on June 5 and claim it is O'Reilly segment from June 6th.

      Now I know that my pointing out a mistake in the graphics by MMFA is not significant but just remember it is equally insignificant when the same thing is done here whenever Fox makes a mistake in the graphics. Is it not?

        Watch out!! the drones will attack you at any second now!!! As far as O'Reilly is concerned, he can never do the right thing as far as liberals are concerned, so why bother? That's the fun thing about this website now with their cheesy thumbs-up/thumbs down, I'm just seeing how many digits I can get into thumbs-down.... without even trolling, just stating opinion these folks go the warpath just to defend opinions, not withstanding the facts!!

          Yes aren't they all so predictable, they are quite easy to set off. Try misspelling a word from time to time , they all jump on it immediately. The site here is really a study in the 21st century's version of Pavlov's dog .

      Don't be too afst with praises here. O'Reilly was quick to say " with words " preparing himself to destroy Obama " with action ". You watch, what is not said is as important for this guy as is what was said.
