Special Report's Bret Baier will interview President Obama on Wednesday in an exclusive conversation scheduled just days ahead of the House of Representative's critical vote on landmark health care legislation.
The interview will run uninterrupted in its entirety on Wednesday's Special Report at 6 p.m. ET on Fox News Channel.
Baier will discuss with the president the policy, politics and head counting behind efforts to pass Obama's signature domestic priority. The two will also talk about other key issues facing the Obama administration and the country.
"This is a real opportunity to try to get some firm answers from President Obama on lingering questions about specifics in the health care legislation, the process Democrats are using to try to pass it, and the politics of its passage," Baier said. "And it's an opportunity to try to pin the president down on a few other hot topics. We welcome the opportunity and think it will be a benefit to our viewers."
Special Report will broadcast from the White House. After the interview, the Fox News All-Star panel of Steve Hayes, A.B. Stoddard, Juan Williams and Charles Krauthammer will offer expert analysis.

0Bama is getting desperate when he feels the need to take his spinning wheel into enemy territory. I hope Brett doesn't lob him a bunch of softballs.
-
Oh, but you know he will--or at the very least he won't get asked any difficult questions.
-
Yeah, Bret's a little too gentlemanly. Sigh. Wonder if I should even watch this? It's always so much blah blah blah....I always think I should watch these things to be informed, but then he tells a big lie, I get mad, then my mind wanders, then I wander off to do the dishes or something. I dunno. The soaring rhetoric just doesn't trip my trigger.
-
How much you wanna bet the questions will be pre-approved? There is no way in hell oblah blah is walking into Fox HQ without some protection.

Me too. I prefer to read the transcript.

Even if they are pre-approved as a condition of the interview, what's to stop Bret from deviating from that list? It's a lose-lose for 0bama if he makes a big deal out of that or blasts FNC for it, cuz then he admits he can't handle tough questions unless he "studies to the test". If he blasts FNC, it only shows how he will disregard freedom of the press when it suits him. Anyway it goes, he has no recourse except not granting another interview on Fox, which is unlikely anyway.
-
I really like Bret Baier so I will watch. Like Karin I will probably get pissed but I will watch anyway.
-
Obama is following Beck. As it should be. Let those who lead, lead. Let those who follow, get the hell out of the way.

Tis better to be pissed off than pissed on......we've all been soaked for over a year now.....time to break out the blow drier. :-)

The DUmmies have that covered-
1. Suckers! I can't believe they'd fall for that.
They have no one that can match up with him. As long as he has some protection against them editing it to suit what their viewers want to hear. I hope he also has his own crew to film it along with the FOX crew. Then if they mess with it, he has the original footage to put out to prove what he really said.
:lmao:

Tiny correction in my case, but oh, so accurate.
The old adage, "How d'ya know when he's lyin'? Yup, his lips are movin'" is oh, so true.

Me too. I prefer to read the transcript.
I want to see Obama's body language. I think everyone expects memorized answers from him, but when he gets flustered or angry, he can't completely control his body language, no matter how hard he tries.
I really like Bret Baier so I will watch. Like Karin I will probably get pissed but I will watch anyway.
Yeah, me too. Obama's best time to be viewed is at 6pm....can bet he wouldn't have done it at 6 if Bret wasn't the commentator.

I wonder if O'Reilly will have his body language expert on again soon to rate Lord Zero's appearance.

O'Reilly's an ass.
-
O'Reilly's an ass.
I rarely watch, but do catch bits and pieces when flipping through the channels. If he has anything of importance going on, they usually cover it on Fox and Friends the next morning. That doesn't happen very often.

She's on at least once every week.....Mondays? I bet she's on tonight though. Dennis Miller is on on Wednesday nights too....he's not a fan of Obama. :evillaugh:
-
Bret Baier is on with Shep , now. He says the interview was somewhat combative because he was trying to get Lord Zero to answer specific questions. Maybe it will be worth watching.

Specifics? What are those? We're gonna pass the bill first then ask us what's in it.... :banghead:

According to Bela Pelosi, we have to pass the bill before we can know what's in it.

Will there be a teleprompter with his obamites flashing the answers on screen?
-
OBAMA: What I'm saying is whatever they end up voting on — and I hope it's going to be sometime this week — that it is going to be a vote for or against my health care proposal. That's what matters.
BAIER: Deem and passed, Senate reconciliation and we don't know exactly what's in the fix bill. Do you still think —
OBAMA: No, we will — by the time the vote has taken place, not only I will know what's in it, you'll know what's in it because it's going to be posted and everybody's going to be able to able to evaluate it on the merits.
OBAMA:This notion that this has been not transparent, that people don't know what's in the bill, everybody knows what's in the bill. I sat for seven hours with —
BAIER: Mr. President, you couldn't tell me what the special deals are that are in or not today.
OBAMA: I just told you what was in and what was not in.
BAIER: Is Connecticut in?
OBAMA: Connecticut — what are you specifically referring to?

I watched about 15 minutes of it. obama was obnoxious, over bearing and down right rude. **** him.
-
Not to mention he wouldn't give a straight answer to a single question. I listened to about 5 minutes of the interview driving in to work. Any more and I probably would have just steered off the road and taken out a tree, he pissed me off that much.
Look for the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll to take a nosedive after this.

We watched it, and what a total jerk!!
He couldn't even answer specific questions regarding the bill.
It will be very interesting to see what Rasmussen reports. Guess it will depend how many of those polled....also watched Obama. If a bunch of them did...it will have to tank. If they didn't see the interview, or clips of it...it may continue along as it has.
-
obama picked the worst possible arena to let his arrogance out. FOX has the largest viewing audience. The world got to see what kind of a jerk he really is. I hope there's repercussion from this. HCR= fail would work for me.
-
I'll give Brett credit. He was much more persistent than any other reporter from the other networks would have been. He made Lord Zero squirm and act like he was dodging questions.
The war on Fox is already resuming/starting on the lefty sites, I bet.
-
Bret was a real bulldog. :lmao:
Good job. 'Course Obammy did his usual 2-step shuffle. But it looked like he was unnerved by Baier who actually threw hardballs. The Annointed One isn't used to a reporter who'll play lap dog.

heh (http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/03/obama-says-louisiana-purchace-in-obamacare-will-cover-earthquake-in-hawaii-uh-what-earthquake-in-hawaii-video)
BAIER: Do you know which specific deals are in or out, as of today?
OBAMA: I am certain that we’ve made sure, for example, that any burdens on states are alleviated, when it comes to what they’re going to have to chip in to make sure that we’re giving subsidies to small businesses, and subsidies to individuals, for example.
BAIER: So the Connecticut deal is still in?
OBAMA: So that’s not — that’s not going to be something that is going to be in this final package. I think the same is true on all of these provisions. I’ll give you some exceptions though.
Something that was called a special deal was for Louisiana. It was said that there were billions — millions of dollars going to Louisiana, this was a special deal. Well, in fact, that provision, which I think should remain in, said that if a state has been affected by a natural catastrophe, that has created a special health care emergency in that state, they should get help. Louisiana, obviously, went through Katrina, and they’re still trying to deal with the enormous challenges that were faced because of that.
(CROSS TALK)
OBAMA: That also — I’m giving you an example of one that I consider important. It also affects Hawaii, which went through an earthquake. So that’s not just a Louisiana provision. That is a provision that affects every state that is going through a natural catastrophe.
Now I have said that there are certain provisions, like this Nebraska one, that don’t make sense. And they needed to be out. And we have removed those. So, at the end of the day, what people are going to be able to say is that this legislation is going to be providing help to small businesses and individuals, across the board, in an even handed way, and providing people relief from a status quo that’s just not working.

You sure he said that? I don't feel like listening to it all over again.
-
Yes he did (1:18).

I'm glad I didn't watch the thing.

The DUmmies on Skin's Island (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7942215) must have watched a different interview than we did. In their parallel bizarro world the president owned the interviewer.

They must've made up a fresh batch of Kool-Aid

I saw that. I was going to bring it over and then thought, BLEAH!! Why bother.
-
Well, the DUmmies would think that. T'ell widdem.
Everyone's laughing about the earthquake in Hawaii. It happened in the mid 19th century.
zero was an utter asshole, and everyone can see it, regardless of what the 5,000 on the island think. A lot of people wrote in to say they were screaming at the TV. My husband was one of them.

My son and the other half were...the first time it was on.
I was up all night cooking and T was up when the reruns came on....he started in yelling again....
He said that several of his buddies that are still active duty...hate that Obama is CiC and they have no respect for him. Even though they are Navy, they are worried that he's going to get them killed. :(
-
The AP didn't think much of the interviewer. Bret was interrupting prezbo, but they don't mention the fact that Lord Zero was evading the questions.

I watched 5 minutes of it on youtube. I can't watch Obama talk for more than 5 minutes, it makes my blood boil.
He was arrogant and he didn't answer any of the questions, it was a sales pitch not an interview.
I'll give kudos to Bret Bair for not giving the President a pass on his B.S. pitches.

Most 0Bamabots are saying that Baier was rude for interrupting Dear Leader.
-
Maybe, but he never would had got any answers at all if he hadn't.
-
No kidding, from what I saw, if he hadn't tried to wedge the odd question into the pauses for breath, he would have gotten to ask one question and then listen to a 20 minute speech.
Gibbs couldn't keep his piehole shut about it either, basically saying we should all be thankful for the chance to listen to yet another 20-minute Obama speech rather than ask The Great Oz any actual questions.
-
Obama is like a robot, he just says the same crap over and over, giving a speech to any situation.
I don't need to watch any more of his interviews or venues because I already know what he is going to say, and he is just going to end up annoying me.
So what the hell is the point of listening to him?
I'm just gonna spend the next 3 years pretending he doesn't exist.
-

That's perfectly fine, but it sounds like you'll know he exists when it's time to pull the lever on that Tuesday in 2012 when it's time to throw that asshole out of office.

Can you imagine that job? Trying to keep the curtains closed on that bit of ugly truth, pretending that the curtains really aren't falling apart? I couldn't wish it on a worse guy.

CNN is doing a recap of the interview. Their title is "IN THE FOX'S DEN" and the by-line is "Baer interrupted President". It's the funniest damn thing... they keep showing interviews with Bush and crying about unfair treatment.
:lmao:
