Obama Gives Interview to Fox — Fox Uses it Against Him

As I noted yesterday, President Obama was to sit down today with Fox’s Bret Baier for an “exclusive” interview. Why? Robert Gibbs, Obama press secretary tweeted that Fox has a big audience and “it’s worth a shot” — presumably meaning it’s worth a shot to try to reach Fox’s audience.
Having monitored Fox for five years while blogging at the News Hounds, I knew that one thing Fox would do with the interview would be to chop it up into sound bites and use it against Obama (for days and weeks, and possibly even years, to come). Lo and behold, it didn’t even wait for the interview to air; it released excerpts on its website and started bashing him in advance.
Fox is continuing with its meme that Obama is taking over the government and to hell with parliamentary procedures.
This screen shot was taken just before 6:00 p.m. ET, when the interview was set to air:
It’s the Obama as Osama thing:
