Bill O'Reilly appeared on "Good Morning America" Thursday with George Stephanopoulos, where the two talked about the health care crisis and the landscape for the 2012 presidential election.
Stephanopoulos asked O'Reilly if, like Evan Bayh, he believes there's room f
or "someone to come up the middle" in 2012.
"It depends how articulate they are and how they're gonna handle all the slime factor," O'Reilly said. "You get into this game now, they're gonna tear you to pieces on both sides. Do you have the stomach for it? You wanna put your family through that? That's what scares them away. The press is so vicious now with a capital 'V.'"
Would O'Reilly be interested in running? He says no.
"I have more power doing what I'm doing than getting involved with the political process," he told Stephanopoulos. "Plus you have to kiss butt to get money."
As for frequent "O'Reilly Factor" guest Sarah Palin, O'Reilly says she absolutely wants to run but has to weigh whether she wants to put her family through the process. And, he added, she needs to study up.
"Sarah Palin needs to go to college," O'Reilly said. "Political college, world affairs college, and she is. She's hired a bunch of advisers and they're giving her a whole bunch of tracks to learn, because it is a sophisticated deal."
[this is good]
Is this the kind of person YOU (conservative repubs) want running our country? O'Reilly says....she absolutely wants to run! And, he added, she needs to study up.
Sarah Palin for President!!
OMG, she needs to GO AWAY already! She has no core understanding of politics. There has been plenty of interviews to prove that. Hiring a bunch of advisers is NOT going to help her! At 45 years old, Sarah has proven NOT to care about weighing things out for her family. Has that not been made clear by her actions? Have we not seen enough of this dysfunctional family unit already? Its about fame and fortune, but I believe Sarah is mentally ill. I always have. Personality disorder is characterized by dramatic, absurd behavior, emotional behavior, in the same category as antisocial and borderline personality disorders. It seems that to be ignorant, arrogant and in general a worthless tool is what makes you tons of cash and gives you permission to strive for what does not belong to you. Sarah, you're shameful!

half of obamas people are college elitists that can't find their backsides with both hands,if you take a look at some of the greatist companys in this country they were started by college dropouts,its the economists that never step out of the classroom that are destroying this country..
Posted by: ken | 02/25/2010 at 12:34 PM
I will take a college elitist any day over an under-educated, vicious, vindictive woman with no moral compass. Whether you like Obama's policies or not, I will take a decent person like him who tries to very hard to get along with other people over someone who is obviously only interested in the title and the power. Palin in the White House would be a very dangerous thing for America.

You can't hold a candle to Jon Stewart, he is much funnier. But good for you for trying.
Posted by: Guest | 02/25/2010 at 12:56 PM
Thank you for that! We can debate policy all day long. But with integrity and honesty, you either have it or your don't! Sarah Palin does NOT!
Posted by: Syrin from Wasilla | 02/25/2010 at 01:42 PM
Hahahahahahahaha!!!! Stewart/Colbert 2012!!! I would vote for that ticket in a heartbeat.
Posted by: sjohnson | 02/25/2010 at 03:18 PM
So Bill thinks Sarah needs to go to "political college," huh? Yet, there she is.... on Fox News payroll. What's that tell ya?
BTW, Sarah Palin is 46 now. What has she learned in the last year? :::crickets chirping:::

Tells me that "Fox NEWS" is an oxymoron.
Posted by: sjohnson | 02/25/2010 at 04:43 PM
...because it is a sophisticated deal."
What's a sophisticated deal? Especially, if associated with Sarah Palin. Sophisticated and Sarah do not go together in the same breathe!

Boy, that's an understatement!

Maybe turn off your teevee or move to another channel other than faux news
Posted by: barracuda78 | 02/26/2010 at 04:37 AM
well you just keep watching the Communist News Network,and see where it gets you comrade......
Posted by: ken | 02/26/2010 at 07:45 AM
And what exactly makes CNN the "communist news network?" You like to throw that word around a lot. You may not like their take on the news, but I hardly think "communist" describes them.
Posted by: sjohnson | 02/27/2010 at 12:16 AM
oh, what was that to close to the bone,how about,marxist,progressive,trotskys socialist or just hell bent on destroying america,they used to be fair,then dear jane showed up,then it was sold,now its just the communist news network.
Posted by: ken | 02/27/2010 at 08:27 AM
Ken, Do you get your news from many sources? Just FoxNews?
Do you pick up the daily newspaper, listen to drive time radio, catch the late night news on TV or use the internet as your primary information source? As active Americans we should continue to investigate all sources and disseminate news that impacts public debate.
We have to quit using terms like marxist,progressive,trotskys socialist! It takes away from the debate.

my local newspaper is the st.petersburg times,a very liberal/socialist rag,i always watch the news on one of the big three,the frontpage news on yahoo.and check cnn and fox on the internet.i get a very good picture of whats going on.just my local newspaper is all the proof i need of slanted news,they are the ones who got a pulitzer prize for their ''politic facts'' so i read it every day,if its a democratic wrong doing they soft soap it,and hedge around the truth as much as possible.if its the republican wrong doing they will attack with out mercy,and most times they will carry it over for a couple of days..but don't believe me,you can get polita fact off the net,read a month of it and see the slant see the long time bias.the msm media in this cou ntry has been slanted liberal for a while,fox news has brought news back to the center,whats really needed,is a station thats as far right as msnbc is left.
Posted by: ken | 02/27/2010 at 01:57 PM
The thing to do, Ken, is to access a wide variety of news sources. Check anything suspicious on Factcheck.org. The truth is somewhere in between all the slanted news. The different news sources are similar to interviewing witnesses at the scene of an accident. Every person will tell a different story with a different emphasis. What I don't get is your support of Palin. Regardless of her politics, her numerous lies have been very easy to check. She has raised hypocrisy to an art form. I just can't stomach the constant lying and viciousness.
Posted by: sjohnson | 02/27/2010 at 03:11 PM
Thank you sjohnson
Worth Repeating!
She has raised hypocrisy to an art form. I just can't stomach the constant lying and viciousness.
Ken,
May I add ...
Jesus himself said: The evidence of belief of a true follower is to produce much good fruit, John 15:8,
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness [or meekness, or humility], and self-control.
Posted by: Syrin from Wasilla | 02/27/2010 at 03:55 PM
i get a wide view of news sources,because i go looking for them,most people only come across/are bombarded by the liberal press in this country,i've read some of the local alaskan newspapers,they're not as bad as the ones in florida but still slanted..........either your blind to the fact that factcheck.org is run by liberals or your hoping i am,like i said whats needed is a far right wing news station to counter balance the likes of msnbc,until then its a uneven playing field.
Posted by: ken | 02/27/2010 at 09:27 PM
Oh puhleeeeze!!! It's the old "all the news is liberal" whine. Give me a break. First, anybody can go into the news business, liberal or conservative. No laws against conservatives being communications majors. Second, maybe the whiner section of the conservatives should pursue careers in the news industry and correct this great injustice. Third, Rupert Murdoch is as conservative as they come and owns what is probably the largest or one of the largest news conglomerates in the world. So try singing a different song if you want anyone to listen. Boo hoo. Call the waaaa-m-bulance!!

Don't watch msm-main stream media to you fauck news guys
Posted by: barracuda78 | 02/28/2010 at 09:23 AM
In 2010 there are more places that you can get your news than ever before! You never have to put on your tv!
Good to see you :)
Posted by: Syrin from Wasilla | 02/28/2010 at 10:29 AM
do you understand whats being done to your news sources,even the net is being overrun by socialist politics,most of the editors on wikipedia are from move.on... huffington post is run by a socialist,yahoo is also run by a anti-capitalist,fair and balenced left the news along time ago.
Posted by: ken | 02/28/2010 at 12:52 PM
don't watch anything that is on msm nor do I call calls such as socialist, we are an evolving world which needs to rise to the changing populations, this is not america in the 1700's.... i can make up my own mind and am involved only with people of integrity

Of course, Quitty McQuitter can always flash a little grizzly mom leg and there goes PalinFail down the Chris Matthews memory hole. The progressive motto is,
2008: Never Forget.
