Obama To Address Rev. Wright Story on Hannity and Colmes

[slinkerwink]

Apparently Sean Hannity said that Obama will be sitting down with Fox News reporters to address the Reverend Wright situation on the Hannity & Colmes show. This is where the Wright story originally broke on Fox News, remember?

This should be interesting.

[TexasLady]

1. Now that will be interesting!

ugh, but to have to watch..that..CHANNEL.

[tabatha]

2. Good move.

If this does not bury the Muslim story, then I don't know what could.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

3. I'm really interested to see how Obama handles Hannity

[gravity]

10. I'm more interested how Hannity handles Obama

[butterfly77]

If it is a one on one .

he may obama should be able to speak with out getting cut off...

[scheming daemons]

4. PERFECT! Grace under pressure in the den of the lions... will play WELL!

[saracat]

5. Wow! I though Barack would NEVER appear on FOX. Wasn't that some sort of pledge he made?

Sort of like he wouldn't run adertisements in Florida?

[ProSense]

9. LOL! n/t

[apocalypsehow]

14. I don't recall any such pledge about appearing on FOX. Do you have any proof for this assertion?

n/t.

[movonne]

22. It started there lets end it there...what do you feel about that...

[malletgirl02]

34. I agree

It makes sense to appear on the show where the whole thing started.

[democrattotheend]

28. Wouldn't do DEBATES on Faux

That was the pledge the candidates made. The rationale was that debates draw large audiences and bring in a lot of revenue for the networks. Same reason Clinton threatened not to do debates on MSNBC after the Shuster comment.

As far as I know, none of the candidates swore off all appearances on Faux.

[geek tragedy]

37. Well, that's where you get your news about him.

Go ahead, wag your finger about this. You know you want to.

[apocalypsehow]

40. In point of fact, a little googling around puts paid to your posted falsehood. No such pledge was

ever made by Senator Obama - unless you count the time he and all the other Democratic candidates boycotted the FOX debate.

There literally is no falsehood HRC supporters won't indulge in.

[Quixote1818]

43. How does it feel knowingly posting blatant lies? nt

[LSK]

47. wouldnt do debates on FOX

Now please STOP LYING.

[Forkboy]

52. It's been sad watching you devolve into just another drone for one side or the other.

:(

[angie_love]

55. Obama is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't with you Sara.

[Kittycat]

6. Well this will be more than interesting.

I'm shocked he'd go on such crappy show. What time does their show air? We have Fox unprogrammed, and I'm going to have to make DH adjust things for Tivo to catch it.

[gravity]

17. It's the best place to do it

You have to confront your enemies head on

[leftynyc]

23. I agree

If he can get past insanity hannity without getting bruised, that'll go far in neutralizing this issue for now (only to be brought up again in the general).

[Kittycat]

31. So true.

[leftofcool]

link please

if one is available

[loveangelc]

7. Wow. This SHOULD be interesting. I think this is a very good idea.

[Cha]

8. Thanks, slinker..we'll

be waiting with baited breath for the report.:P

[slinkerwink]

19. heh. I won't be tuning in for that

so I'll just get a second-hand report from some more daring DUer.

[Cha]

54. Somebody will, no doubt.. n/t

[katty]

11. o my Yogi and Boo Boo Bear will get an earfull

[Unsane]

12. EXCELLENT move

[DemsUnited]

13. I hope this is true.

If it is, it says a lot about Obama that he's going to sit down and discuss this highly controversial event with FOX news first, instead of, say, Oprah.

Wow, actually.

Brilliant.

[elizm]

15. Tonight? What time does that come on? nt

[leftynyc]

26. It's on at 9PM in New York

Can't speak for other time zones.

[kentuck]

16. Walking straight into the lion's den....?

Hmmmm...interesting.

[scheming daemons]

18. PRESIDENTIAL........ Take them on DIRECTLY......

[geek tragedy]

38. More like a lion walking into a mouse's den.

Obama vs. Hannity is a complete mismatch.

[Whisp]

39. Obama's got cool, nothing for him to worry about.

he'll pull it off fine as he always does and end up looking like the responsible adult he is and not a tantrumistic child like his opponent.

what ticks me tho is how these idiotic stories that come out interfere with his schedule - he's been putting out a lot of fake Clinton fires lately. But then again, it gives him some air time that he uses well so it could be looked at as a bit of free advertising for him - thanks to the other campaign.

[Cali_Democrat]

20. He's going to be on Fox News tonight?

Fox has been the news outlet hammering this. Wow is this a bold move. I hope he does well. I pray for him.

[tekisui]

21. This is where this story has been for months.

This is the audience for this story. THe Obama campaign knew that this would become an issue, long ago. I expect they are well prepared for this.

[shaniqua6392]

24. I am sure Obama can handle stupid Sean Hannity.

But it makes me a little nervous too.

[ellacott]

46. Me too

The OP said he will sit down with reporters. I dont'know if that means someone other then Hannity. Also, if it's pre-recorded how will they edit it. I hope he's doing his own taping alongside the Fox cameras.

I saw his Pastor on Hanity's show last year. Hannity was so rude to him. He kept interrupting him and putting words in his mouth.

[loveangelc]

25. where did you hear this??

[olkaz]

27. Wow, taking it straight to the enemy, I like it.

God I hate Fox News.

[Barack_America]

29. I just set my television to remind me to watch a FOXNews show.

*shudder*

Thanks for the heads-up though.

[thoughtcrime1984]

30. Go get him, Senator!

I have never wavered that he should be our President. He takes the bull by the horns every time!

[Mooney]

32. Good.

Obama gets free advertising on Fox News!

[jenmito]

33. GREAT move. Hannity has been pushing this story (with scary music in the background) for many

nights. It will be so great to see Obama deal with the mental midget!

[NYDem Observer]

35. Do you have a link or anything?

[Arkansas Granny]

36. Good. I hope he can put it to rest.

[Quixote1818]

41. Wow, brilliant move! That is if he handles it well. nt

[Rex_Goodheart]

42. Where did you hear this news?

Link?

[scheming daemons]

44. Hannity said it on his radio show.....

...

Sorry that Obama disappointed you by addressing this.


Feel free to "admire" him again....

:eyes:

[Rex_Goodheart]

53. I hope I can.

[milkyway]

45. Obama has a post up at Huffington Post on this issue. Posted 4:28 pm est.

[oasis]

48. For us DUers who don't watch Fox regularly, why not post the time?

thanks in advance. :hi:

[PerfectSage]

49. OMG, WTF? Is this for real?

If it's true, it'll be the penultimate in absurdist commedy. lol

[tishaLA]

50. Will H&C be interviewing him or someone else?

[11 Bravo]

51. Tactically brilliant.

If he can keep Hannity from talking over him, Senator Obama will chew little Sean up and spit him out!
