My Facts: - I despise Fox, never watch it because of concerns about how it raises my blood pressure, makes my stomach acid bubble up, and come close to loosing my “elite” mind. - I was concerned about Barack’s appearance on Fox but then remembered that he has also said that he would talk to ALL people whether they agree with him or not) - I calmed down, remembered that the best person to reflect Barack’s honesty and personal integrity to potential voters is Barack - I decided to watch Fox with clenched teeth and a bottle of anti-acid. I am glad that Senator Obama appeared on Fox because:-(i) Now Barack can’t be criticized for not talking to the “half of the country that does not agree with him”; (ii) BO handled the interview with such class and grace that even the Fox pundits in panel that followed couldn’t hide they genuine respect for Obama (e.g. Brit Hume who looked almost envious of Wallace for landing this interview). (iii) Because Obama raised the quality of the discussion with Wallace, the moderator also responded with a higher level of discourse even when asking questions about irrelevant-gotcha-questions; (iv) Barack directly answered rumors that have been fed to Fox viewers without a filter; (v) A number of people watching Barack and his interaction with Wallace could help but recall Clinton losing it completely with the same moderator; (vi) Fox will monitor ratings of Barack’s interview. Money is the most important issue to FOX notably speaking to Obama with respect will help their bottom line; (vii) It is general election mode. BO drew more contrasts between himself and McCain, ignored the candidate-formerly-known-as-inevitable - , she has now been relegated to the place of irrelevancy were she belongs. When Obama talked about McCain, he seems to be more passionate about the differences between them; (viii) Subsequent panel discussion reflected what everyone knows (but won’t publicly acknowledge) that Obama won’t only be the nominee but will also be elected the as 44th President and that he would make America as a nation proud!!If you get a chance to, please watch the full interviewWhat do the rest of you think about this interview?
