From last night’s edition of the O’Reilly Factor. Charles Krauthammer dissects Obama’s attempt to have it both ways on the Ground Zero mosque in the brilliant fashion which can only be delivered by the K man.
FOX News analyst Juan Williams was guest hosting for O’Reilly and fielded the call pretty well. The segment gets off to a slow start but stay with it. If you’re in a hurry, skip ahead to the 7:05 mark to hear Bill O’Reilly’s impersonation of Joy Behar.
With all these dots begging to either be connected or discredited, what’s does David A. Graham Reporter suggest be done? Further investigation? Nope. Congressional hearings? Nope. Instead of wanting to get the bottom of the story, Graham instead attempts to smoke-and-mirror the story right off the MSM radar by writing the whole thing off as nothing more than right-wing political theatre — you know, like ACORN was.
As Obama loses independents, his leftist rhetoric must go up to stir enthusiasm from his base. That’s a big problem, says Dick Morris:
Barak Obama faces about the same problem that confronted Bill Clinton in 1994 when he lost control of Congress. In both cases, the Democratic presidents had alienated moderate and conservative voters and found themselves increasingly isolated with a political base of liberals and minorities. In each instance, the president worried that off-year election turnout among their base would be attenuated both because it always is in non-presidential years and because their policy failings had reduced the enthusiasm they found among their base voters. And both men found themselves forced to escalate their rhetoric and move their ideological positions to the left in order to try to drum up the kind of turnout they needed to keep power in Congress.
Clinton failed and Obama will too.
This is essentially what he said in an appearance on The O’Reilly Factor on Wednesday night. Skip ahead to the 5 minute mark for the relevant discussion.
Charles Krauthammer appeared on The O’Reilly Factor tonight to analyze Obama’s Oval Office address on the oil disaster in the gulf. Watch it all. Charles Krauthammer is in top form, as usual. Funniest quote: “He looked sincere for most of it.”
Laura Ingraham appeared on The O’Reilly Factor last night to discuss the BP Oil disaster. About two thirds into the video below, Laura accuses Bill of being too soft on the Obama Administration, grabs Bill’s water cup and accuses him of “drinking the Kool-Aid.”
Shocking, isn’t it? He doesn’t come right out and say that in this video but it’s certainly implied. The best part comes at the end when Dr. K advocates a “test market” for the legalization of Marijuana in a small place like… Rhode Island.
