On Wednesday morning, Sen. Barack Obama appeared on “Fox & Friends,” giving his first lengthy interview to the Rupert Murdoch-owned network since declaring his presidential candidacy.

Perhaps even more surprising, Obama indicated earlier this week that he might one day appear on “The O’Reilly Factor.”

On Monday, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly aired his much-talked-about “scuffle” with an Obama campaign staffer during a New Hampshire event. When O’Reilly got Obama’s attention, he asked, “Can we have a word sometime?” The Illinois Democrat replied, “How about after the primary?”

5. Which is worse? Going on a Rupert Murdoch owned network

to advance one's candidacy, or allowing Rupert Murdoch do a fundraiser to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for one's campaign, like Hillary Clinton did?

Awaiting your answer, crotchwig.

6. And this is a big deal because why?

If Obama truly wants to bring in a bunch of people to create a working majority, then he needs to reach out to every spectrum. I'm sure he has been advised that exposure period is the best method to get his message out there, so trying to reach out to the right wing makes sense and is pretty smart. But that's just me.
