President Barack Obama said that he is in a lot of ways less liberal than former Republican President Richard Nixon and said Fox News Channel's Bill OReilly has been absolutely unfair to him throughout his presidency in an interview that aired Monday night.
In a lot of ways Richard Nixon was more liberal than I was, Obama said. He started the EPA, started a whole lot of the regulatory state that has helped keep our air and water clean.
Obama's comments came in response to O'Reilly asking him if he was the most liberal president of all time. Obama also listed Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson as presidents who were also more liberal than him.
OReilly conducted a live and at times contentious interview with the president on Sunday ahead of the Super Bowl. An additional taped portion of the interview aired on The OReilly Factor on Monday.
During the sit-down in which OReilly asked about issues like the 2012 Benghazi attack and the troubled health care roll out, the Fox News firebrand asked the president if he felt his network has been unfair to his administration.

Whaaaaaa, Fox News is being mean to me!!! Whaaaaa, Rush Limbaugh is making fun of me!!! The ministry of propaganda gets far more use out of their knee pads than they did while Clinton was President, which I really didn't think was possible.
It really makes me wonder what would happen if Barky was presented with having to make a real decision... Who would he blame it on? Oh wait, he has, hundreds of people are dead (including, but not limited to 2 federal agents, an ambassador, and many hundreds of innocent Mexican civilians,) and it's... Fox News's fault! Barky would be a joke, if not for the piles of bodies. He's pathetic!

das rite Kojac. There is nothing liberal about Obama. He is an Islamic maniac bent on destruction.
Obama’s infantile intellect is on display constantly. It is only the rapt attention of his puppies in the MSM who prattle on about his brilliance.
What? “O” had a gun to his head making him look like a f’n lying, half-wit?
He did that ALL my himself! He can look look in the mirror and thank HIMSELF!
I actually agree with Obama. He is nowhere near the most liberal president. He is authoritative, socialist, and mercantilist, which flies in the face of true liberalism.
Evidently even asking a difficult question to Captain Teleprompter now qualifies as “unfair”. Race card next?
It’s probably when he’s off camera.
Drawing a comparison to Nixon... how appropriate.

Oh come now, that is far too nice
Treacherous, tyrannical, despot are far more suitable descriptives
Little pity-party for The Won?
How much longer do we have endure this whiny tyrant?
It’s bad enough dealing with his diktats, but the constant whining is too much.
Man up, or let the Mooch take over. She’d be a REAL tyrant.
It is very UNFAIR that you didn’t get a tingled down your leg while talking to me!
*stomp*
Im gonna go tell Reggie love!
I fear it, because IMO that's when the pogroms will start.
The rest of the MSM never dares even that much impertinence. :)
Cry BABY in Dirty Diapers
“the most brillient mind on the planet refers to the Fox News Network as
your TV station.
Just like he said,”I got a pen and I got a phone”.
Great grammar there, idiot.
It was Nixon who first proposed the onerous Earned Income Tax Credit too. He wasn't around long enough to sign it into law, that dubious honor goes to Gerald Ford.
The only conservative president we've had in my life time (and I'm old) was R.R.
‘When people interrupt his speech of the day’ - oh wouldn’t that be terrific? Maybe from the Senate floor. Or a little child calls out,
“Look, Mom, the Emperor has no clothes.”
