As if Bill O’Reilly hasn’t told enough lies over the past couple of months–and throughout his life–now he’s trying to rewrite history and say that President Obama had absolutely nothing to do with killing Osama bin Laden. Say what? Wasn’t Obama the Commander in Chief at the time? Oh well, Bill lives in his own little world of delusion.
Wednesday evening on his showThe O’Reilly Factor,” the Fox News host was discussing the foreign policy accomplishments of the Obama Administration?and said he agreed with former Vice Pres. Dick Cheney that there was no single foreign policy victory in the president’s six years in office. His guest, Democratic strategist Jessica Ehrlich, reminded the blowhard O’Reilly:
“Well, let’s say Osama bin Laden–the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden.”
From the way O’Reilly reacted to what Ehrlich said, you would have thought she had just pissed in his Cheerios:
“He had nothing to do with that! That was US intel and the Navy SEALs taking him out. He just said ‘Do it.'”
To which Ehrlich replied in defense of the President:
“It happened under his watch.”
But O’Reilly still wasn’t willing to concede even a smidgen of praise for President Obama:
“C?mon. So what? If that’s what he’s got after six years, that’s dismal.”
Setting into action and approving the mission that killed the most wanted terrorist on the face of the planet is “dismal”? Oh, Bill, tell me this: how’s the weather in your little world?
It’s also instructive to recall that shortly after the raid on Bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan, O’Reilly actually praised the President, going so far as to remark:
“This certainly bolsters [Obama’s] resume…If you’re going to call him soft on national security or soft on terrorism, he can look at you and go, ‘Hey.'”
Bill has told so many lies in his life–about all the horrible “combat missions” and deaths he has witnessed as a reporter–that he now just blends the lies with fact and molds them into a simulacrum of semi-truth that convinces no one. I guess I should feel sorry for someone so deluded and confused, but I can’t, so I don’t.
