Obama and O'Reilly in Nashua

Bill O'Reilly struck or shoved an Obama staffer today. As John Dickerson noted in Slate, Obama spoke with O'Reilly spoke briefly after the incident, apparently unaware of O'Reilly shoving the staffer. C-Span caught it and here is the video of their exchange, which begins about 30 seconds into this clip. Transcript at http://riffle.blogspot.com

Um, I never saw a shove, and if any of you have ever been to anything like this where there are a ton of reporters, you have to push around to get to the person of the interview you would like to undergo. Same goes with sports figures after football games. I am not siding with anyone, just saying.

Please read the "about this video" field. Quoting" "...Obama spoke with O'Reilly spoke briefly AFTER the incident" "After" means that this segment begins at a later time than the shoving. So if you never saw a shove in this, no wonder... you were told this started "after" that.

[vladimirhorowitz]

Obama lied. He doesn't want to have ANYTHING to do with an interview where he'll get asked tough questions. He'd much rather stick with venues such as The View and Oprah where the most complex question he'll face is his current iPod playlists.

[sekeith2001]

You should tell the truth if you're accusing others of lying. Obama has done many interviews in newsmagazines and newspapers. And on Meet the Press, Face the Nation, this ABC's This Week, and tons of other hard-news outlets. One reason he hasn't appeared on Faux News is because they were persistent in airing false previoulsy debunked smears. O'Reilly hasn't consented to an interview with "Sweet Jesus I hate Bill O'Reilly," either.

Hey Bull - the Senator will talk to you, IF HE'LL talk to you, when HE'S ready, and not before . . . you self-important POS . . .

O'Rilley, scum of the earth.

Also, we are FOOLS if we choose to believe that there are NOT just as many, if not MORE white people voting for Hillary or McCain just because they are white!!! This whole thing about racism/reverse racism is hilarious!!!

[Ronlg1]

I wih I was on here a month ago to converse with some of you. I think that racism will always exists because it's creators continue to pass it down to their children. I think it is hilarious when people point out reverse racism. That's like being a bully, picking on a kid and then crying when that kid picks up a bat and hits you with it. It is kind of hard to denounce anything that you started.

[bluehoneycomb]

yes your are being racist.

[bluehoneycomb]

Well, are you saying that white men who vote for either McCain or Huckabee are racist for doing so?

[cbautist]

you are a tool

[frellthat]

In any case, Obama did win in Iowa, where the black vote was not even significant, if it existed at all. His campaign is hardly a racially motivated campaign. As you yourself prove, there are as many people voting against him because of his race as there are voting for him.

[frellthat]

Yes, the blacks who support Obama because he's black are racist for doing so. Just as the women who vote for Clinton because she's a woman are sexist for doing so. But for voting against Obama because of his race, you are just as bad as any of them.

[kas2z]

What the F is LOL!

[kas2z]

LOL what are you 14. You're way out of your league. Obama is not a bad guy but, I like him better than Clinton. But I don't like the fact that 64% of blacks are backing him. If anything is racist it is that.
