and yet, it's FOX's fault...

President Barack Obama twice blamed Fox News Channel for misinforming the public on issues that have bedeviled his presidency in the past year during a pre-Super Bowl interview with the network's Bill O'Reilly.
The two sat down in the White House on Sunday for a live pregame interview that started about 4:35 p.m. and aired for less than 10 minutes.
O'Reilly first noted that Obama's detractors believe he did not initially say the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, that left U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead was terrorism because it happened in the heat of an election.
Obama had just weeks earlier said al-Qaida was on the run after U.S. Navy SEALs assassinated its leader, Osama bin Laden.
"That's what they believe," O'Reilly said of Obama's detractors.
"And they believe it because folks like you are telling them that," Obama said in the often testy interview.
"No, I'm not telling them that. I'm asking you whether you were told it was a terror attack," O'Reilly countered.
Obama said it was "inaccurate" to say that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told him the attack was terrorism when he first gave him the news. O'Reilly noted that Gen. Carter Ham, head of operations in Libya, has testified he immediately told Panetta the attack was terrorism, and not the result of a spontaneous demonstration over an anti-Muslim video.
"But it's more than that because of Susan Rice," O'Reilly said, noting that Rice, who was then U.N. ambassador, used the video explanation days later on the Sunday talk shows.
"Just as an American, I'm just confused," he said.
"Bill, I'm trying to explain it to you if you want to listen," Obama countered.

Bill better have good tax lawyers.
“I think your heart is in the right place.” That is why I don’t watch Bill anymore. At least he asked the tough questions, but seriously, what will it take for Bill to admit this guy is purposefully destroying us?
If O'Bloviator truly ran a 'no spin zone', his next question should have been, "Is ANYTHING ever your fault?"
His problm with fox is they tell the truth
I remember translating Oedipus Rex from Latin in my Junior year. I kept wondering why this? Why did they choose this book?
Now looking back I understand. It doesn’t matter if it is not your fault. You stand up and take responsibility.
If Fox News is the reason for Obama’s problems,I hope he continues to have many more problems in the future.
He sure has caused enough problems for the American People.So let him suffer with us.
Actually I think he’s loofah boy.
Breathtaking.
It’s a dictator’s prerogative. For Hitler it was the Jews. For Obama it’s white people, Bush, and Fox News.
This guy is detestable.
“”At least he asked the tough questions””
WITHOUT getting answers!!! I’m not one that bashes O’Reilly but there’s always a first time. That was ridiculous. Let the bozo keep blabbering and just move on to another question. You could hear him trying to interrupt and get the jerk back on track but he didn’t persist so obozo ran over him. Shameful!!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The IRS criminal conspiracy won’t go away because the horrid FOX News actually reports on it?
I look bad because you don’t swallow my line of b.s?
No wonder he has even lost the black democrats in Chicago of all places!
What’s next?
The mean FOX News made widdle bammy tee-tee his underroos?
.
Impeach the idiot, illegal alien, muslim, communist now!
Fox News= the new George Bush.
So, in other words, little Barry got up there and started whining about “racism” and how everybody picks on him the way they did Charlie Brown in the song. Great.
and yet, it's FOX's fault...
Damn. He needs to take a class in US History. It is THE JOB of the press to keep the government in check. Which the alphabet stations are failing at miserably.
This adversarial relationship is what keeps this country from veering off the cliff.
Same with Congress.
So the translation here kiddos is: only Fox News is doing their job.
