Obama: 'The folks who hate you, they don't know you' President talks to Fox News' O'Reilly about burdens of office, Egypt and health care WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says he doesn't take it personally when people say they hate him. And the thing he dislikes most about being president is the constant, intense scrutiny. "The people who dislike you don't know you. The folks who hate you, they don't know you," Obama said Sunday in an interview broadcast during Fox's pre-game coverage of the Super Bowl. "What they hate is whatever funhouse mirror image of you that's out there. They don't know you." Asked by Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly whether his critics annoyed him, Obama said: "By the time you get here, you have to have had a pretty thick skin. If you didn't, then you probably wouldn't have gotten here." Video: Obama, O’Reilly talk Egypt at Bowl pregame (on this page) The 14-minute, live interview sought Obama's views on a range of timely matters, including the unrest in Egypt and the ultimate fate of the new health care law. O'Reilly also probed Obama on lighter topics, including which team would win the NFL championship game and the worst part of his job. Obama lamented anew about "being in the bubble." He is followed practically everywhere by staff, Secret Service agents and the media. "I enjoy talking to you," O'Reilly said in closing. "I disagree with you sometimes. I hope you think I'm fair to you. I try to be, but I wish you well in the next two years." . www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41456263/ns/politics-white_house/ |

LOL! The irony here is that this seems to be true of almost all politicians except Obama. Obama has been coddled, shielded and apologized for more than any other politician in history, with the possible exception of JFK...

Obama has been coddled and protected his whole life. He couldn't even beat Hillary in the Democratic Party primary- the party had to use rules and "superdelegates" to hand him the nomination. The Democrat VOTERS rejected him and elected Hillary. FACT. Look it up.
