Before Badgering Obama, Bret Baier Compared Bush to Lincoln
The conservative blogosphere is abuzz over the Bret Baier's contentious interview Wednesday with President Obama. Of course, Baier's repeated interruptions and confrontational tone should come as no surprise. After all, the Fox News hatchet man established his partisan bona fides two years ago in an exclusive interview with President Bush titled, "George W. Bush: Fighting to the Finish." And in that lovefest which Fox News deemed a "historic documentary" (and which is available from Amazon.com for $19.95), Baier compared Bush to Abraham Lincoln.
Mercifully, you don't waste your money or your time listening to a fawning Bret Baier toss George W. Bush softball questions or lay rhetorical rose pedals as his feet during that 2008 hagiography. After his "unflinching, fair and balanced interview with the 43rd president," Baier explained how Bush "was inspired by the writings and deeds of Abraham Lincoln":
"We talked a lot about President Lincoln. And there's going to be a lot of people out there who watch this hour and say, is he trying to equate himself with Lincoln?
I tell you what - he thinks about Lincoln and the tough times that he had during the Civil War. 600,000 dead. The country essentially hated him when he was leaving office.
"And the President reflects on that. This is a President who is really reflecting on his place in history."
That Lincoln didn't "leave office" but was instead assassinated just one month after his second inaugural is one of the more humorous errors produced by Fox News in its ongoing efforts to rewrite history on behalf of President Bush and the Republican Party.
As I documented previously, throughout his second term Dubya sought to equate himself with the Great Emancipator. As ThinkProgress noted in January 2008, "the list of conservatives who have sought to frame Bush as Lincoln is long; it includes Newt Gingrich, John Gibson, David Brooks, and Rudy Giuliani." In February of that year, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales during an address at Washington University "repeatedly made references comparing himself and the Bush administration to the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, suggesting that Lincoln was highly criticized during his presidency and is now highly revered."
Meanwhile, over at the National Review, Seth Liebsohn was ecstatic, crowing that "Bret Baier just concluded the single best interview of President Obama in a year, by any reporter." And no doubt, it was the best interview of any president since Bret Baier described George W. Bush as the second coming of Abraham Lincoln.
(This piece also appears at Perrspectives.)
Did he ask, "Do you support the Demon pass rule?"
In my best Eeyore voice, I describe his wonderful interiew,
"Pathetic"
No one has ever come through the Demon pass alive. True story.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
He was just brash jerk, had someone from MSNBC tried to interview Bush like that the GOP and FOX NOISE would have been having a sh** storm over it.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
There was an Irish woman who was interviewing Bush..and she got fired, I think, because she was pressing him on the WMD thing...I do know the interview got stopped...
that could easily explain it.
Some stuff you can't make up!
Why does this prez keep setting himself up for this kind of ridicule by trying to be logical with insane sociopaths of the rethuglican kind?

“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
...keep asking. When he does this, he just legitimizes Faux as though they were some sort of "news network" when, in fact, they are just a conglomeration of the most unprofessional fuck-wads to ever walk the face of the Earth.
This idiot interviewer doesn't even get the fact that you aren't supposed to interrupt the president when you are interviewing him.
Why does this naive, hand-holding, pusillanimous president insist on playing nice with his avowed enemy?
Take off the rose-colored glasses, Barack.
BID
screaming lunatic, like most Faux Noise people are.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Well, he does come across as the adult...and shows everyone how an adult can handle UN-scripted questions...and badgering..
First I think Bret is an ass for trying to push the president to discuss congressional machinations, which happen to be the Fox meme of the day. Go interview Nancy or Harry for answers to those questions. But the president should have understood that the Fox audience can't handle answers longer than 10 words.
quit talking with these idiots. Billions and billions spent on wars, zero debate. The "Patriot Act" robbing Americans of their liberties was pushed through with blinding speed because Dubya didnt want it debated, zero debate. covering more Americans with health care endless debate.
Quit talking with these thugs
The one thing he had right regarding Bush:
"The country essentially hated him . . ."
And most of us still do.

Is that in New Beckistan?

Funny, from where I sit, Baier made a complete ass of himself.
Of course, to the drooling denizens of Foxworld, whenever a reporter behaves like a bullying jackass toward a Democrat, it's great journalism.
I kept thinking of Wallace's interview of Bill Clinton from a few years ago.
Clinton pointed out that Wallace was performing a right wing hit job. Baier was just doing the same.
"But Mr. President, we have 18,000 emails."

“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
First off Bret is a little shit. Now with that out of the way...
The closest Bush ever came to Lincoln is when he would roll up a five dollar bill to snort his coke.
My only question. Was it an old bill or a new $5 bill with Lincoln looking back at the shrub while having a toot?
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
I like that.
FOX don't take kindly to Uppity Negroes.
"Butt...butt...our party is the party of Lincoln that freed the slaves.

I think Obama did a great job and I don't mean answering questions. I mean Obama did a great job showing that Fox and this clown are so partisan they would not even let the President of the U.S. answer the questions they asked. Obama did a great job showing these clowns are what we know they are.
I think that the Republican base would never change their mind so they don't matter. They are all out looking for $10,000 so they can have their photo taken with Palin and Bachmann.The rest of the people who see this interview will see Obama doing a good job of showing that Fox are assholes and these people will see that health care reform is better than anything the Republicans have come up with.
I knew these women were whoring for the Rethuglican Party, but that's the most expensive hooker I'VE ever heard of. Maybe we should start referring to them as Rethuglican Call Girls.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Does that include blowjobs for life?
come an' git it sarah and michele, ya betcha!
If the President had gotten up and knocked the shit out of Bret, that would have been fine with me. Just this one time.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Those assholes will be high fiving each other for weeks for the put down of the black man.
And I'll bet they are being deluged with calls, tweets, etc. congratulating them for not sucking up like the "liberal" media always does by being more "fair and balanced".
40% of the population live in a different reality.
To be fair, Bret asked the questions and to be balanced he didn't allow for answers. Grrrr
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

I was watching the Rachel Maddow show last night and she was describing the changes taking place in Virgina do to their new Governor are turning the state into Jessie Helms land. I know the Dems haven't been all we wanted them to be but I am scared as Hell of these sociopaths becoming the majority again.

I think this is another excellent example of why people should not shop at Walmart. Not only to they exploit minorities as employees, now they are discriminating against them as customers. Will they be booting out Hispanics next? Vote with your pocketbook, people: DON'T SHOP AT WALMART!
Besides, if you are a patriot (and aren't we all?), you would not shop there because ALL THEIR MERCHANDISE IS MADE IN CHINA. (or some other foreign country).
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Any one who looks at the facts realizes that both Lincoln & Bush were murdering pieces of sh*t. Unfortunately, the public school systems can't seem to tell the truth about Lincoln so you end up with Bush et al having a "justification" for the death and destruction that they're responsible for. It's sickening.
So, I guess in your mind, Jeff Davis is some kind of hero. Jesus Christ! Hey everybody! I think we've got a member of the Texas School Board with us today!

Statists are not heros
Maybe you're living backwards, like Merlin, and that makes what Lincoln did look bad. Of course, then Bush would look incredibly good...
For a long time, I've wondered if Lincoln should be correctly praised for keeping together the Union. Perhaps America would have been better off if (a) the South stayed seceded and (b) no war was fought. In the end, did the Union really benefit by returning the South. Haven't the past 150 years shown us that the South is principally the source of America's violence, hate and immorality? I truly believe, especially these days, that America would be a far greater place without the South, but, more significantly, now if the Liberals were to assert their claim for freedom and equality we would be opposed by the weight of the US government, the US military and the US corporate media conglomerate, and, as we see today, it is a bloodbath.
sometimes, too. I've lived in the south and they have never, ever given up on their version of how dastardly they were done in by the carpetbaggers, blacks (substitute the n word) and "he deserved to die", Lincoln.
That being said, Lincoln's war was to preserve the Union. Bush's war was to preserve the oil.
Big difference, all those foxer's out there.
Both Lincoln's & Bush's war/genocide was to murder people who didn't want to be ruled by them. It's a pity that some will murder those that they disagree with.
Does that mean we should still be subjects of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II?
no one should be subjects of any body. Defending your self against an intiator of violence is not a problem as long as the only target of the defense is the initiator.

“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
"Some" = those who don't want to be bothered with persuasion through reason and evidence and will murder those who do not want to comply with their whims.
most of the people who wage war....and unfortunately, lately, The United States is in that category.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Not much difference.
The thing is, some of the questions were okay and I wanted to hear the President's answers, but Bret kept butting in just as the President was trying to answer. So freakin' frustrating.

Bret was more interested in making a name for himself than he was in what the President had to say. He came off looking like a total ass instead of a reporter.

Bah, as usual Obama comes off much better than the right-wing douchebags who are trying to undermine him.

"In fact, less than 20%–and in two recent years, less than 7% and 4%, respectively–of the money raised by Freedom Alliance went to these causes, while millions of dollars went to expenses, including consultants and apparently to ferret the Hannity posse of family and friends in high style."

Hope my comment is appropriate here:
Like all of you, I was disgusted by the Baier's hyper-partisan interview of our president. And it was obvious that he was getting wood by acting so unprofessionally and interrupting President Obama. And you know that the right-wing nutjobs of our country would be up in arms at any liberal journalist who would have treated Bush this way. I was so disgusted watching this.
And above all Obama is way TOO NICE. Baier and his fellow right-wing nutjobs are bullies. What I would give for a muscular president, who would swing back hard. We have to stop turning the other cheek and hit back hard at them. The only thing a bully understands is a punch in the face.
I hope we NEVER become like them.
Obama is a class act and has an adult temperment. I hope he can keep from going off on these punks - it shows he is stronger and better than them.
"I know that there are people who do not love their fellow
man, and I hate people like that! " ~ Tom Lehrer (1928 - )
When you don't fight back against a bully, they have a way of pummeling you into submission. I am seeing too much of that coming from our side and the Democrats these days. And this must stop.
... fighting back and more about fighting smart.
Threats are easier, of course, and since it's a language they speak, it's usually understood ... but the bullying isn't about what is right, or what is true (any more than rape is about love) - it's a power/dominance game.
Within a species, the options expand from fight/flight to fight/flight/posture/submit. The trick is to get them to submit without having to test your claws.
Oh hell no! Using ones claws can possibly cause one to chip a nail. Now we are talking about how to ruin a day. ;)
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
When I see that the Republican Party has even the chance of gaining power this fall, I can not help but conclude that we are not fighting smart.
Giving a bully what he wants (attention, etc.) is no solution. These clowns need to be called out, humiliated, and shut down at every opportunity.
...and that my frustration is that Obama is not calling out, humiliating and shutting down these clowns. It's as if he is allowing the bullies from Faux Noise to simply hit him and hit him and hit him without fighting back. And that MUST stop.
"... when a dog pees on a fire hydrant, he's not committing vandalism; he's just being a dog."
-- Arnold VanDamm / 'Executive Orders' by Tom Clancy
in this instance, Obama's low-key style and restraint (not punching him in them mouth, as I would have) only served to emphasize what a douche bag Baier was and that his true agenda was to embarrass the President. This time, turning the other cheek looked classy.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
...when I look at the polls and find out that the Republicans have even a fighting chance this fall, I become discouraged with Obama's amazing restraint. Maybe I am wrong; my chess game is not the best out there. I hope I am wrong. Nonetheless there is just something viscerally satisfying about seeing a bully get the bloody nose that he deserves.
did anyone get the impression that the president's account of his guiding hand in the healthcare reform sounded like the making of stone soup? he provided the stone, congress provided the soup, and whatever comes of it would be a great soup?
The tale of stone soup requires that the Villagers/Congress actually contribute to the soup.
his only input was--you need to create healthcare reform.
In the story, the villagers are led to contribute a bit of meat, an assortment of vegetables, and so on. What results is a tasty, nourishing soup. If the villagers in the story had thrown in old shoes, rusty nails, and horse poop, the ending would be quite different.
As far as healthcare reform goes, you have half the village insisting they don't want or need soup; and an old biddy who says she'll put in her best vegetables, then decides you don't need them and throws in some day-old laundry instead. So we're being told that stock made with wash-water is better than no stock at all.
And that's not even counting that the no-soup-for-you crowd is insisting that if you DO make soup, they're gonna pour it out on the ground and insist you start over, because some undetermined time down the road is better suited to making soup.

FOX? Well, Lincoln WON his war. Bush cut and ran and dumped his 8 million mistakes on all of us. Bush - Lincoln? Nope.
Bush - Boozed up Bum.
Or, at least, not in the way that Bret Baier intended.
Abraham Lincoln was actually elected two times, while the GW Bush political machine stole two elections.
Abraham Lincoln was a reluctant "war president", while the GW Bush political machine engaged in voluntary preemptive wars based upon knowingly false intelligence.
Abraham Lincoln raised taxes, and raised an army through a draft in support of his war, while the GW Bush political machine lowered taxes, and relied upon volunteers, both public and private, to fill his military's ranks.
Abraham Lincoln reluctantly suspended portions of the Bill of Rights, in his efforts to suppress 5th columnists, while the GW Bush political machine gleefully suspended most of the Bill of Rights in an effort to suppress knowledge of his illegal wars.
Abraham Lincoln's military and political agendas were suppressed, along with the use of the first Congressional impeachment proceedings to that end, while the GW Bush political machine's military and political agendas continue unabated with his leaving office, and with no political will to make use of Congressional impeachment proceedings to turn the "ship of state".
And finally, Abraham Lincoln was not so much voted out of office as much as assassinated, to the detriment of the country's healing process, whereas the GW Bush political machine (regrettably) was removed from office via the ballot box instead of the bullet box, while the country still suffers from this regime's policies.

What did President Obama expect going on Fox news? He couldn't have been naive enough to think they were going to show him any respect and question him accordingly. This is the same network that highlights the tea party morons and that allow their anchors to call him a racist, non-american, and a socialist. Any person watching Fox news is never gonna support Obama or the Democratic agenda, because, quite frankly, they are morons. Thinking people don't watch Fox or listen to Glenn Beck, Shawn Hannity, Rush Limbaugh or any other right wing host. I tell everyone I talk to, the day I want to lower my intelligence level is the day I begin watching Fox news; it is the network for stupid people.
How stupid must one be to think that the turd that stole the whitehouse and lied us into two wars, wrecked the economy, destroied the 3 trillion dollar surplus left to him, allowed 911 to happen, forced people to stand on a bridge for days without shelter and water during katrina! How the hell does that compare with Lincoln? Only on the fox nutwork and TV news nut shows do you find shit this stupid. Ron White was right! You can't fix stupid! can't be done.

they have just reduced any chance of having another interview with the President.
Lincoln did not "leave office". A Confederacy supporter traitor shot the President of the US in the head.
John Wilkes Booth had more in common with the crazed Tea Bag Party than rational citizens.
Booth was an idiot, because Lincoln supposedly had plans to welcome the Confederate states back into the Union as if they were prodigal sons. Instead the Republicans at the time punished the South during Reconstruction, and the South still has not completely recovered from that era.
Like I said, Booth was just like today's Tea Baggers. They are protesting against the wrong people, and they are conspiring with the enemy and that will end up causing them more harm in the long run.

I notice the praise of the War Criminal bush and how much he was DISPISED 9oops, loved, to bad this MORON FAILED to point out that the War Criminal bush was APPOINTED by the Supreme Court and NOT ELECTED as was the PRESIDENT he was interviewing a Duly ELECTED PRESIDENT by the PEOPLE NOT the Corporations and the Spineless, Gutless, American TRAITOR cheney.
So now I am truly validated in giving the Nazi High sign to ALL Faux Noise entertainment CLOWNS.
Pres Obama needs to wake up and realise just as FOX championed the war criminal GW Bush as a hero that cannot be questioned in any way, they regard Obama as a villian, and see his supporters as traitors.
If Pres Obama sits down with a FOX schill, and is treated with disrespect, what they hell did he expect wpould happen?
The radical right wingers who love FOX tend to be anti-intellectual, white and end of times Christian findamentalists- On every level they see Obama as the enemy
Why the hell give these slobs any credibility ? Other than calling them out on their bull shit they should be ignored , they are not a legit news organization . Obama gave them credibility and legitimacy by granting the interview is all he did . They'll now edit , clip and totally distort the " interview " and use it for more anti Obama propaganda . Mission accomplished .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
is this.

...and that my issue is that Obama is not calling out this j-rks, humiliating them and shutting them down. He is being WAY TOO NICE! This must stop.
Talk about being narrow minded.
I have never in my life seen an interview with a sitting president with so much disrespect. Bush JR was treated better, Bush sr. better, Clinton better. I have NEVER seen such pure rudeness in an interview with a sitting president before.
As I said this was a mistake when I heard it, the right wing has become even more embolden then they already were. That Obama thought the reactionary right would ever hear him shows a complete disconnect with the reality of the current political structure. Obama has to improve these people lives with actions. Anything less like pretty words isn't going to work.
to go on FOX! PERIOD!!! What else would one expect from this propagandous, make-believe TV network?
that Obama is President and that healthcare reform is going to pass.
Take that, Brett Baier.
Bret Baier is not a little shit. He's a big shit. Look at the picture above. The "Big Giant Head" has landed back on earth. Obama is over six feet, right? Baier is overgrown and over weight. He looks much smaller on TV. Mongoose out.
Life has been described as a cosmic joke. I have to agree with that in at least one instance.
Take the first Republican, for instance, Abraham Lincoln. He's been described as honest, noble, eloquent, and brave.
Contrast him to the degenerate piece of trash who impersonated our President for eight years, and who occupied that office, and disgraced it as no other person has, past or present, compliments of two fraudulent "elections", one backed by a crooked "supreme" court. His list of "accomplishments" include (but are NOT limited to). two phony wars, shoved down our throats, multiple capital crimes, murder in the form of heartless indifference to the victims of Katrina, because they have the misfortune of being poor and black, and therefore have no political power, and numerous other crimes.
So, guess what reward Lincoln went to? He was murdered, of course. You see, he was a Peacemaker, much like Mohandas Ghandi, who was also murdered.
And prezdint Dumbass? Why, he retired rich, and enjoys the good life, compliments of ignorant and indifferent citizens, and a gutless President and "democratic" administration.
Some joke, huh? Are you laughing yet?
...it's just a network, BFD. BHO blew the FOX News issue out of proportion by avoiding them and having his staff go out and make accusations regarding their partiality. He should go on there regularly and simply answer the f'in questions - he's smart enough to do that (isn't he??).
