I seem to recall Skippy doing a few intros to the NFL games last season. He has also thrown (can you call it "throw") out the first pitch in a few baseball games. What exactly is the problem? He seems to want his face in front of people.
My only question is if O'Reilly will have the guts to actually ask him the hard questions.
But, regardless of the two involved, and their mutual gain by this venture, do we really need to inject politics into the superbowl game?
NO!
The Superbowl is not an appropriate venue for politics.
(but it is a sure way to reach a big audience.)
When did this start? Did other Presidents do this?
I usually watch games delayed anyway,
so I can FF through commercials and halftime.
I'll be FFing through the interview, too.
I "get" why O'Reilly is interviewing Obama during the superbowl. Fox has no national news shows like ABC, NBC or CBS so they have to pull in a name from the Fox News Channel to do the interview. And, of course it's good for Fox News business to promote O'Reilly's show when so many people are watching.
I also "get" why Obama is doing the interview. With all of those people eyeballing the game, O'Reilly's tendency to interview obnoxiously (talking over people, making himself the focus of the interview, overdoing the Alpha Male bit, etc.--- and I watch him all the time, I just cringe at his interviewing technique) will make Obama look good in comparison especially to the uninformed masses that don't have cable. Where else can you get so many people watching you (and watching you sympathetically in comparison to O'Reilly's personality) than the superbowl?

I would think not....Superbowl Sunday has become such an American tradition that we don't need anything to interfer with the 4 hours we enjoy each Feb.
I think it's a very ballsy move and will shut up many critics. Unlike the Palins and Beck's that hide behind fox news' skirt, Obama is going on the most watched event of the year, and being interviewed by O'Reilly, fox's #1 guy. Obama's isn't going for some safe, fluff interview. He's going straight to the jugular of the fox news hate machine and likely gives O'Reilly and fox news a complete spanking on national tv
No one watched Barry's "State of the Union" speech so he is trying to ride O'Reilly's ratings coat tails.

Obama is the president of the united states. Bill "I paid millions to keep my sexual harassment charges secret" O'Reilly is nothing more than a cable news commentator.

So?
He has made a disgrace of the title POTUS and disgraced and ruined this Country. He neither deserves, nor receives respect.

Fox News hate machine? You must be watching a different Fox News than I!
