Irish Civil War? O'Reilly has Turned on O'Bama

In a blistering attack on the massive failure that the Obama administration has inflicted on our economy, Bill O'Reilly has taken the gloves off. He is pounding away on Obama in his own inimitable Irish pugilistic style.

O'Reilly has been trying for some time, to be"America's Newsman" by positioning himself in the middle. He has strived to be the fair and balanced commentator, a kind of elder statesman of the news industry.

In this role, O'Reilly has always given Obama the benefit of the doubt and cut him, in many observers opinion, far too much slack, as Obama pushed our right of center country, farther and farther left.

This internecine war started festering as Bill increasingly questioned the wisdom of many of the Obama administrations policies. Policies which are leaving the economy reeling and drowning us in massive debt.

O'Reilly has questioned Obamas far left appointments to head massive government departments. The EPA and the Justice Department under the direction of Obama appointees are attacking the states and private sector with new rules/ regulations and justice department probes/ lawsuits. His appointments to the NLRB have gone on the attack against American business at a time when policies should be geared to nurture business.

But with the new tranche of massive debt heaped on America, things have gotten out of hand in an alarming way and it seems Bill cannot bite his tongue any longer. He is using his pulpit to signal Obama and the American public that the shillelagh is out of the closet and he is going to use it to beat away at policies that he feels are harming our country.

While the economy is in tatters, the FAA is not funded and many are out of work. President Obama is attending his own star studded birthday party. For 45,000 you are welcome to attend the party and have your very own picture taken with the president.

President Obama went to Ireland recently, he said it was to find his Irish roots. Some said it was in search of his apostrophe, others said it was only posturing and a way to pander to the Irish voters in America. Either way, O'Bama should listen to his Cousin O'Reilly and take stock of where he is leading us.

"He is pounding away on Obama in his own inimitable Irish pugilistic style." - Ed Farnan.................................................................................................................................. Would you refer to him as 'English' if he were of English extraction? You are marginalizing *Americans* who happen to have Irish ancestry. You are perpetuating our unofficial second-class citizenship.

For the life of me; who talks about POTUS being the messiah except for the right? I don't know why this has to turn into a Battle. There is surely a great deal of Irish background Americans who look similar to POTUS. No, he doesn't look like Sadaam Hussain. Back to reality, we could make a fortune and save a fortune on green jobs manufacturing and installation no matter what God you serve.

Thousands of "green"jobs in manufacturing and installation of panels and remember all the income/corporate/good and services taxes(gst)collected by the feds and state. The flow on of jobs into other sectors a good investment,would you agree.

Well Lad, you have to admit President obama does bear a resemblance to Anwar Sadat, he would like to govern like Anwar too if he could. glad you are getting energy self sufficient, of course the old fashioned liberal way, at taxpayer expense. It would be good to see this tech stand on its own 2 feet w/o the massive subsidies. With all of the global cooling and the increase in the polar bear population, your hero al goracleis having a very public emotional breakdown. He is being scorned around the world

Bill O'Reilly has been more than fair to Barak Obama. Almost too fair, if you ask alot of Americans. As for Barak O'bama being Irish - blarney, that's all. He looks Egyptian!!

The FAA is not funded because the Democratic led senate has sat on the bill that was passed by the House of Representatives. Now call me a cynic but do you think the Democrats did this on purpose so they could complain that ' the Republican led house went home and must come back to DC to take care of the unfunded FAA'? Make it look like the Republicans were not doing their job? Of course, most of the American public has no idea how a piece of legislation becomes law. Come to think of it, most of the American public cannot define the word legislation.

You must have hit a Useful Idiot nerve, Ed. Lets see if this can bring their sniveling up an octave: "At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats." - P.J. O'Rourke OR maybe this; The Liberal Mind: Psychological Causes of Political Madness by Dr. Lyle Rossiter http://bit.ly/a4RTOS

Interesting how you both; seanomelbourne & McNamara31 slip right by the "shovel ready" jobs that have cost trillions in "bail out" money. I wonder who will bail out the little guys. And I will not reconsider my stupid comment because it is obama's economy now. Tell me this, when does any responsibility fall on his administration?? When?
