O'REILLY: But you know, I want that, Ms. Owcharenko. I want that. I want, not for personally for me, but for working Americans, to have a option, that if they don't like their health insurance, if it's too expensive, they can't afford it, if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus for the folks.



Ain't that somethin'?

1. He's still a douche. nt

[Peacetrain]

2. Say what?

:wow:

[argonaut]

3. I've never been more freaked out in my life. n/t

[Xipe Totec]

4. Don't worry, a doctor is on his way to give him his meds

he forgot to take them this morning.

[Bluzmann57]

5. What's the catch?

There has to be something in it for Billo. Maybe a pile of money, maybe some real sex instead of phone sex, something. He can't be morally for a public option.

[Bianca2009]

6. O'reilly what

this is crazy

i guess he concedes the far right to beck

[burning rain]

14. Billo's constantly positioning himself for ratings...

in a right mercenary fashion. A tedious bastard.

[phleshdef]

7. O'Reilly is always all over the place with his character. Am I the only one to have realized this?

[Bianca2009]

8. Is Billo

the new tweety

[dionysus]

9. my only thought, and i don't want to give to much credit to this clown...

before his political show wasn't he an entertainment reporter? he might be doing an act for the $$$ and he accidentally slipped out of character? that might be assuming too much...

[JMMendez1989]

13. Never will see his true side

he actually is more independent than you would believe, I think Fox News shuts him up when his true side comes out. Still he does say a lot of stupid stuff, but I think he never shows his true side.

[SpartanDem]

10. That sound you hear is hell freezing over

I think I'm going to go bet my life saving on my Lions to win the Super Bowl

11. An indicator that the DNC will use this to run against them next year to gain more seats.

[Honeycombe8]

15. Nah. O'Reilly isn't known as a rep of the GOP, like Limpballs is. He's all mavericky.

I've heard him go against the grain before. It doesn't happen often, but I've heard it with my own ears.

[liberalpragmatist]

18. Right. He's a douche, but he's not totally party-line

He was very outspoken against the Swiftboaters in 2004, for example.

[Honeycombe8]

19. Was he? Now, that's interesting. I didn't remember that. nt

[uponit7771]

21. Yeah, they'll go against the grain on small issues but not ones that are reforming as the PubOption

...IMHO.

[Arkana]

12. He'll either deny it tomorrow or there will be some ridiculous qualification

he attaches to it to make his version of the public option virtually impotent.

[iceman66]

16. Deep down he obviously doesn't believe the bullshit he spews on a daily basis,

and occasionally something like this slips to the surface.

[Colobo]

17. Good for him.

[GivePeaceAchance]

20. This was my objective when I kept highlighting a public option could ignite the economy...

I imagine most of these folks invest, with positive indicators they must of figured President Obama is getting it right. I don't know if the WH read my posts, but was glad to see President Obama highlight this point more.
