The Super Bowl may have turned into a disappointing blowout, but Barack Obama’s pregame interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly was intense enough to make up for it. The host of the O’Reilly Factor was relentless, aggressively interrogating the President on all the controversies of the past 18 months: the glitchy roll-out of the healthcare law, the 2012 Benghazi attack, and the alleged IRS scandals.
Though the exchange was at times far from friendly, it was interesting to hear the President respond (however evasively) to such direct and pointed questions, many of which have been largely handled by other members of the Obama Administration.
