Barack Obama should appear in Fox News
He should face Wallace and even Billo. If Hillary can go and not get criticized, then Obama should. I feel many Fox News fans will like him.

1. I think so, too
Our candidates should go everywhere talking to the American public.

2. I think so too, because they are defining him right now
as they are the other candidates. Those who only watch Fox News do not see the democratic candidates, for what they are. They get a chance to respond to the propaganda that has been spewed about them for so long.

Of course: anyone who is listening to only Fox News has their heads up their asses anyway and it will likley not change their lemming-like minds.

3. I want him to set it up a notch. More agressiveness.

5. Of, course, they were good to Hillary. Fox News is rooting for her to be our nominee!

11. They weren't "good" to her - they were very tough - she was just so much better than they are
and knocked every question out of the park.

She's not getting special treatment - she's just good, plain and simple.

16. they were not hard on her. I was medium.
They allowed her to dominate the conversation. If it was another dem they would not have allowed it.

17. I don't think they "allowed" her to do anything-she's VERY good at not letting herself be cut off
That's a very unique skill that comes from lots of experience. She's mastered it. She's a pro at talking over their interruptions without sounding like she's yelling.

They didn't give her a break - hell, they talk about her like a dog every chance they get - she's just better at this game than they are.

20. It was a typical FauxNews candidate interview
They weren't being any more "good" to her than to anyone else. FauxNews treats candidates with more respect than they do other interviewees.

7. Obama's campaign reminds me a bit of Tom Seaver's pitching style.
Seaver in many respects was the consumate athlete. Brainy, considerate, long-seeing, and peripherally aware of everything going on around him, in addition to the titanium arm and great control. Before you knew it, a fastball was boring through your rib cage at 98 mph.

I think Obama's team is a cannon under flowers. Late this fall, I think we'll see the fire.

4. Nobody should
They aren't a legitimate news source and nobody should dignify them by pretending they are. It's bad enough they were chosn to be the pool for the convention next year. Our party is either stupid or has no desire to put this country back on a normal footing at all.

6. They are not a news outlet, they are a propaganda outlet for the Republican party.

9. Agree
They are NOT a news source. There are plenty of other halfway legitimate news networks for any Candidate. As far as I am concerned, ALL candidates, Republican and Democratic should avoid any appearances on Fox.

10. Hillary did an outstanding job this morning and, no doubt, won some converts in the Fox audience
Such an appearance would probably only help Obama - and any other Democrat who goes on fully prepared.

12. I agree. After Hillary gets elected President, her VP should go on all the shows...
... in preparation for 2016.

18. I agree
Surely Obama and any other Democratic candidate can handle a FauxNews interview. Besides it's good training for the post-primary season.
