O’Reilly asked Obama if he was the most liberal president ever to serve “Probably not"

O’Reilly: Why don’t you talk about black families? Obama: I do, but you’re not listening

O’Reilly asked Obama if he was the most liberal president ever to serve.

“Probably not, that’s fair to say,” Obama said. “You know, the truth of the matter is, is that when you look at some of my policies, in a lot of ways, Richard Nixon was more liberal than I was. Started the EPA. You know, started a whole lot of the regulatory state that has helped make our air and water clean.”

In fact, it was brilliant.

Just drove home how far right these guys have drifted.

Actually, forget drifting right.

These guys are just flat-out nuts.

At least many of them are.....

these answers are honest and accurate. The interrogator does not ask these questions in the pursuit of answers, but as accusations and vehicles of attack.

Willard Romney, Ryan, cheney, gwbjr., et alia could not give an honest answer about anything, it is constant lies.

What does a man gain in having a conversation with a Fox cable employee?
