Many politicians on the Left continue to shun Fox News appearances. This cannot be said for Congressman Dennis Kucinich and President Obama. The President will appear on Fox News, to be interviewed by Bret Baier on Wednesday and it is described as an “exclusive” interview. The interview will take place on the 6 PM show Special Report.
The main topic will be Health Care Reform. Bret Baier will also try to get some information on what is on the President’s agenda for the remainder of the year. Over the past year, Fox News and the White House have not been on the best of terms. Recently, the Communications Director for the White House Anita Dunn charged that Fox was not a legitimate news network. In response to this, Fox News network head, Roger Ailes conceded that Fox displays a lot of opinion in its news shows.
In the past, the First Lady has appeared on the Huckabee Show and Fox White House correspondent Major Garrett did interview President Obama. It should not be earth shattering because the people want to see the President interviewed by a competent correspondent, no matter what network it is. Major Garrett and Brett Baier present intelligent interviews, leaving the network philosophy out of their questions.
I hope the President talks about WHY every Republican is against Health Care Reform in the face of the abuses in our insurance industry and in the eyes of the world.
I do too. Maybe he’ll realize at some point that the majority of american people see that this country cannot afford additional entitlements when we cannot afford what is already in place. As far as what the rest of the world thinks, who cares………..they are all broke and have no real plan for moving forward except to be jealous of what we americans have and try to denigrate our system and duplicate our standard of living. They spend what they do not have…….let’s not follow their example. None of our ancestors or founders envisioned all americans being granted medical care at the public expense.
President Obama is on the right track. He may not have communicated that well but the cost of not doing it a lot higher. In the long run passing healthcre is the right thing to do will make America more competitive. The Republicans should offer constructive solutions.
