Is Garret going to roll over? He’s not the strongest card in the deck.

So, Zero finally figured out taking on a major network was not the smartest political move?

You sure that Zero’s not going to be interviewed by Shep and Geraldo?

Beck or Hannity should do the interview.

"Is Garret going to roll over? He’s not the strongest card in the deck."

Either Obama is either getting desperate, or Fox News has agreed to pre-conditions to get this interview.

Obama might as well let FOX broadcast a tape of himself being "interviewed" by Axelrod.

Major Garrett is a joke.

Garret always seemed to be a straight shooter to me, however, as we know, the talking heads you see rarely are more than people reading off a teleprompter (sound familiar?). It is the producers and writers who really control what happens.

I bet whoever could pull that off would get the highest ratings in TV history. Too bad Zero isn't man enough to handle a tough interview.

Agree!!! They better not softball...likely they have been limited as to what questions their allowed to ask.

Recall they said the interview was, “Granted”...thank you, Sire.

No, the ultimate would to have Dr. Savage conduct the interview with Mr. OBAMA. Now that would be entertaining indeed!

Shep's going to be Obama's fluff boy before he goes on camera and Geraldo will be providing Dear Leader's post-interview happy ending.

LOL.

Zero has been watching “V”.

The Obama/Anna/Alien was being manipulated last night by the news reporter to give him an interview...

Hehe.

“Fox News has agreed to pre-conditions to get this interview.”

Remember the meeting Roger Ailes had with Axelrod a few weeks ago? I have a gnawing feeling that the Axelthug pulled an “offer you can’t refuse” on Fox. Since then the tenor of their programming has been much more sympathetic and less critical of Zero and his leftist memes.And other administration types have started appearing on Fox. Actually, this is troubling.

An interview by Major Garrett isn’t going to be any different than one with anyone at ABC or NBC or CBS.

"No, I want Rush to do the interview, appropriately billed as the: INTERVIEW OF THE MILLENIUM."

I'm being completely serious when I say that it would be the highest rated program in the history of American television. You could see well over 60 million households. MASH's finale only drew 50ish million.

FoxNews is absolutely not granting pre-conditions for this interview.

This feud has been ratings gold for the network. There would be absolutely NO incentive for them to jeopardize the antagonistic reputation they have built up.

Rupert Murdoch is no dope.

Garret is FOX's White House reporter, so this is an interview with the news end of the FOX shop not the opinion end.

I wonder if Fox had to give up anything to get the interview. It means nothing to me personally, I have no interest in listening to people I can’t trust.

He would be the best choice. He's more the "old school journalist". No emotion, just the facts please.

The thing is, if they do a professional interview, with a few valid but tough questions, he might come back. If they send in one of the more emotional types (Glenn Beck whom I love but not a good choice), then he won't be back.

I'm glad he finally manned up and is willing to do an interview. What he was doing with Fox was so childish.
