What a… Surprise: Obama to Make Third Super Bowl Appearance
**Written by Doug Powers
The president who doesn’t crave the spotlight will soon appear on his third Super Bowl telecast:
The pro football playoffs begin this weekend, but Fox Sports is already making sure there’ll be solid television ratings no matter what teams makes it to the Super Bowl on Feb. 6.
That’s because conservative Fox News talk show host Bill O’Reilly will be interviewing President Obama during the pre-game show, the White House confirmed yesterday.
When it broadcast the games in Obama’s first two years in office, NBC had hosts Matt Lauer (2009) and Katie Couric (2010) do the pre-game chats.
If the Fox people were serious about cranking up pre-game show ratings, they’d have Michelle M. do the interview.

Obowmao: NFL is not my thing, I like basketball, but what the hey.
At least then there’d be a pair of testes on the set.
O’Reilly couldn’t figure out Obama was/is a socialist pre and post election on his own show. He’ll ask Obama softball generic questions where Obama will be able to bloviate unrelated commentary about nothing. Later, Tonya Reiman will evaluate Obama’s reptilian tongue movements on the Factor.
HEH.
If it’s live, seat Obeyme then have MM walk out as the countdown hits …2, 1, (on air).
The expression on his face would be… priceless.
“Conservative” talk show host O’Reilly? Since when?
I think I’ll tune in late. I hate to miss even a second of the Patriots whomping on whoever they will be facing but I am so sick of everything being political. There is just no getting away from this guy. Except, of course, at the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year’s. Very patriotic event without the politics.
I might watch a football game if MM was on it! No way if bho is on. Gads, he is going full force since he was off for two weeks vacation. I have a feeling he will be on oprah’s new channel to get her rating up?
BTW, our Michelle is WAY better looking and WAY smarter than bho could ever be.
L
One might say ‘unprecedented’.
Not this one.
If it were Glenn Beck, the ratings would eclipse the Super Bowl’s. Could you imagine the look on Obama’s face?
I think I would prefer Michelle doing the interview. She has bigger cajones than Beck and like Lyndon Johnson, her files are bulging with info needing a good airing.
I’ve come here tonight not only to address….. economy …. Concern…. economy is in crisis… crisis… Earth…. Prosperity…. human history….. responsibilities… lay blame… look backwards…. Challenges…. banks and lenders… massive debt we’ve inherited… create jobs…. tax cut… plan… families who are struggling… college. … accountable… recovery.gov…. insurance…. concern…..
If Obama throws a football anything like he throws a baseball…look for another 4 point drop.
A screen pass in mom pants = not cool.
From Hank Williams, Jr. to this? He could be a good Budweiser frog…
Honestly. Talk about talking advantage of all the perks of office.
What would be great is if a couple of Linebackers came running through the set and picked Obama up (chair and all) and kept running off the set ala the old Marino Isotoner commercials….the look of Obama’s face would be truly priceless….
If MM couldn’t make it Ann Coulter would be a great back up….
The day after the superbowl there is going to be a much better interview…
You beat me to it.
Bill Belichick already has video of the pre-game interview…
That would be terrific. But ObaMao would be a no show if either were going to do the interview, because both toss flaming fast balls and ObaMao is only used to gently lobbed whiffle balls.
Remember that pre-election interview that Bill O had with BHO?
BHO kicked Bill’s @ss all over the set.
Some things don’t need repeatin’.
Is Leni the producer for the extravaganza?
Bill O’Reilly interview with Obama? (Me -push mute button, fill up the chip bowl, pour adult beverage.)
Michelle Malkin interview with Obama? (Me – shell out pay-per-view bucks!)
I heard he is going to sneak it into the opposing teams locker room for them to watch prior to the game to make them slow and sluggish. After watching 15 minutes of it the players will be lulled into a sleep like state of boredom!
The Leprachaun should ask Odumbo who some of his favorite Bears were growing up…
He would answer that he never liked the mean old bears; instead he always routed for Goldie Locks…..
Odumbo responded, “there are so many, but I’d have to say Yogi and BooBoo were at the top!”
I would rather see Glenn Beck or Ann Coulter do the interview. Either one of those would be a bigger ratings boost.
O’Reilly is an Obama fan, which is most likely why he is getting the interview.
Michelle could make an unannounced appearance, then hand Obama a copy of Culture of Corruption in mid interview, look at the camera with a smile while he stares in horror. Ask him to sign the book to authenticate and notarize every chapter. Pull a Hugo Chavez.
I don’t think he would say either.
Does he give the convincing impression that he is culturally an actual American?
This jerk has time to do interviews at the superbowl and time to call the president of the Philadelphia Eagles, but doesn’t have time to call the grieving mother of a slain soldier. Obama is a jerk and a narcissist, like most liberals.

O’Reilly: “What was your favorite Super Bowl memory as a boy growing up in Kenya?”
Obama: “Probably that play when Minnie Minoso…. Kenya? Is that in Hawaii?”
Yawn to both Obama and O’Reilly.
Here’s what I’d like to see:
Ryan/Bachman 2012
Actually pretty much ANYONE from FOX (with the possible exception of heraldo) would be a better interview than O’Reilly.
Obowmao: “Well, since I spent some of my formative years in Indonesia, I’d have to say I’m partial to pandas. That is a bear isn’t it?”
If the Fox people were serious about cranking up pre-game show ratings, they’d cancel the interview with Barry.
looks like two zero’s to me, Barry and Bill, nothing either of them will have anything I’d be interested in hearing.
OBarry really does think he’s king, like we all care what he has to say…narcissistic Marxist anyway..
No desire at all to see Bill and Barry spoon on live TV.
Bill is too much of a bloviating buffoon to ask, but the question should be:
The Constitution requires the President to be a natural born citizen, you supported a Senate resolution on McCain’s natural born status that cited his two citizen parents, your website stated that your father’s citizenship governed your citizenship at birth, how can a dual citizen at birth be a natural born citizen?
Well, since Caesar Obama will grace the super bowl with his royal presence, will they have to have gladiators, or some lions eating Christians to entertain him?
Even if all the other coaches had the same video, Belichick is the only one that knows what’s going on. thblblblblb!
Wonder which team he is going to curse with his pick?
We all know he has the reverse Midas touch so whoever the clown picks will lose.
Geez. I didn’t even know he made the playoffs. If the other team brings a football, you bring guns. It’s the Chicago way.
Well, at least he’s actually doing something *unprecedented* this time…
*Having anyone interview P-BO on anything of substance is a serious waste of time; People by now should realize he is no different than Saddam Hussein being interviewed by Dan Rather or Mahmoud Almadinejad being interviewd by Katie Couric; Like them, he barely tolerates the question just to get to the point where he can hear himself speak; He is, after all, a marxist!
*Blah Blah O’Reilly is the poster boy for conservatism as John Edwards is the poster boy for fidelity!
*”China Girl” written and performed by Iggy Pop, but covered better by Bowie.
Bill’s first interview with bho was barely tolerable. bho kept doing that knee poking thing and giving brain dead answers to the questions. Won’t watch the new interview.
So just so everybody’s clear on this, per the New York Times:
Republicans reading the Constitution = “ritual of self glorification”
Obama thrusting his mug into the Superbowl cameras = upholding his responsibilities to the people
This has been a public service announcement. You’re welcome.
Oh, crap! That means he’s coming to Texas. We’ve been Obama-free for so long. He’s ruining our record.

How about a Terry Thomas office type sacking when Comrade Obama first enters the interview area? And smashing the TelePrompter into a million pieces as The Messiah is driven into the next county.

If it’s a straight on hit–it will bring a whole new meaning to the term NO SPIN ZONE. Then cue Dick Buttkuss for ACT II.

Unlike most teenage boys, who would often have a nude magazine hidden away in a secret place within their room for their moments of self-induced pleasure, Obama was probably able to reach his pinnacle simply by looking at his most recent school photos.
Lot of hate on OReilly here that I dont understand. Bill calls himself an independent, because he has a show to sell. But frequent watchers of the show (of which I am one) know he is most aligned with conservatism and conservative positions, than anything else. OReilly has been thee force in bringing Fox News to the forefront, and Fox News has mostly been thee voice for conservatism in the more commonly watched media. If you watch him, you know that OReilly is solidly pro life, solidly (and actively) in favor of laws protecting children, solidly for border law enforcement first before anything else, solidly a capitalist and self-reliance guy, solidly against liberalism (constantly calling libs “loons” an apt description), solidly for fiscal conservatism and I could go on.
Certainly we all have our favorites of the people that carry the conservative torch, but IMO, there is room for O’Reilly, along with Coulter, Hannity, Savage, Levin, Krauthammer, our hostess, Beck, Limbaugh,Ingraham, Will, the entire spectrum of Tea Partiers, Palin, Shlafly, Buchanan etc in the conservative tent. They all might have differences here and there, but I think they all share the very core beliefs of conservatism.
Sure way to make some easy cash: Bet the opposite of who Barry picks to win the SB.
As for B.O.R. and B.O. (almost typed B.S. there ha ha), no thanks, what a Super Bowl Day Super Buzz Kill!

Which makes his “I’m in the middle, so I can attract more viewers” all the more ridiculous. O’Reilly claims to stand up for “the folks,” while not being able to draw any firm conclusions about Obama. Puh-lease.
sbw999 said:
Puh-lease. O’Reilly came out in favor of the last attempt to push amnesty through. It wasn’t until the public backlash mounted against it that he then changed positions.
O’Reilly is first and foremost concerned with his ratings and his own ego.
As far as the rest of Fox News, it is really only conservative when compared to the Lame Stream Media.
Krauthammer, right before the 2008 election, like so many other “conservatives” on Fox News, was actually fawning over Obama. There were times in the lead up to the election that I actually had to turn off Fox News because they made me want to puke.
Glenn Beck came out indifferent to Same Sex Marriage on the O’Reilly show. Beck said he didn’t care because his country was burning down. Well, Beck, Lot’s country burned down too. Look his story up in the Bible.
If Beck can’t understand how marriage and the family and morality are FAR more important to a nation’s well-being than even taxes and spending, then he is a buffoon.
He’s finally getting around to campaigning in the 57th State.
You mean like Ensure?
Bill, shut up and listen!
Barack, just shut up!
True dat.
Oh Golly! Just can’t wait to hear what he has to say.
Some suggested questions for BOR to ask:
If a pass results in a game-winning touchdown, do you think it should be taken away just because the receiver is ineligible according to the rules?
Do you think a player’s college records would be helpful in making a decision about whether to draft him.
If a quarterback keeps fumbling and throwing interceptions and telling the other team what plays are coming up, at what point should he be removed from office… I mean, the game?
If the quarteback keeps calling plays that ensure the loss of the coun.. er.. the game, at what point should the quarterback be impea.. um.. benched?
This is fun.
What a way to ruin Super Bowl Sunday.
Thanks a lot Bill.
Seriously. Unless Obama says
“I hereby resign as your President”….
there’s little else I want to hear that he has to say.
Now that would be a great Half-Time show, complete with pyrotechnics!
More questions:
Do you think it’s smart strategy for a coach to say during half-time that he intends to drawdown the number of players on the field in the 4th quarter?
Why do you think no-one checked to make sure your ticket in Aisle II, Section 1 was valid?
I finally decided to stop watching O’Reilly after his show Wednesday. Other than Dennis Miller, BOR dominated every discussion with every guest. He would ask a question and then continue to talk.. on and on and on. Oh, but he would give each guest the “last word”. Yeah, right. I was a huge fan for a very long time, but he has gotten so goofy in recent years that it’s all I can do not to yell at the television when he does this crap. He really does have great guests. I just wish I could hear what they have to say. Like GladzKravtz said, “Bill, shut up and listen”!
IMO, here’s the questions BOR is going to ask:
1. “I’m honored YOU chose ME…why so?”
2. I don’t think you’re a Socialist and have said so, “What’s your definition of a Socialist?”
3. “Who do you, o esteemed one, think is gonna win the game today?”
4. “Is it true you and the family dog are finally getting along?”
5. “What’s your golf average these days?” …followed by, “we should play.”
All BS to me. O’Reilly will seem intimidated by Obeyme…sickening. I don’t need the worship hour.
Cuz that’s not his dad!
