Bill O'Reilly Did Not Count: At The End Of The Day No One Followed His Ban On Mexico

Official photographic portrait of US President...
President Obama:  Cute and Counts
Seriously, and O'Reilly is not a Republican....he's certainly not a democrat.  Hannity and O'Reilly are both Independents now that they have lost twice....I guess they couldn't take back America.....they are always searching for a new motto and philosophy...one that might work.

But what happened to O'Reilly's ban on Mexico and tourism to Mexico.  Remember, he urged everyone to not cross the border after the incident of the Marine being held incorrectly according to Bill.  He didn't want to do it as he threatened several nights in advance of his proclamation but he was finally forced into taking matters into his own hands since President Obama was not acting correctly about the situation.

Being from San Diego I would suggest to Bill he might want to actually take a look at the border crossing before he talks--it's huge...giant...thousands of people crossing every day to see their families, go back and forth for work and business.  Many people work in San Diego and live in Mexico.  Many San Diegans have families they visit regularly--part of the family members are in San Diego and part in TJ.  A ton of business and supplies go across every day.

When Bill made his announcement, I thought, are those people really individuals that are watching O'Reilly and following his advice.

Bill hasn't mentioned the success of his ban lately......I wonder if it ever occurs to him that there are a whole group of people that not only don't listen to him but don't know or care who he is.

It's a low blow for a man that wants to be relevant.

He wants to be important and he is not and much to his dismay there is a giant group of people that follow and admire President Obama.

Will he ever lean these things?


At the end of the day.....Bill O'Reilly did not count.

Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly chides Jon Stewart for Clinton interview, gorges on media criticism

 July 17  
What would Bill O’Reilly and his Fox News cohorts do if they couldn’t fill the airwaves with the latest softball interview they saw on a competing news network? Last night, it was Jon Stewart’s turn. He interviewed Hillary Rodham Clinton in a friendly Tuesday night two-parter. “Was it instructive, was it informative?” O’Reilly asked commentators Howard Kurtz and Lauren Ashburn. “When he has conservative guests on, he manages to skewer them with humor,” said Kurtz. “When he has somebody like Hillary Clinton on, it is a kissy-faced moment.” Noted O’Reilly: “He’s gentle.” No one mentioned that Fox Newers Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren stood accused — unjustly — of softballism when they had Clinton on the set last month. Upshot: No matter what happens in a Clinton interview, many, many people will be disappointed.
The half-segment on Stewart’s work caps a frenzy of recent O’Reilly media criticism, which includes: Another half-segment on a New Jersey TV reporter who was punished for editorializing; a short segment in which he denounced a Huffington Post item on Jesus, which he used as an excuse to warn viewers to be skeptical of what they read “on the net” and to promote his best-selling book “Killing Jesus“; a Tuesday segment titled “National media getting tougher on the President“; a Monday segment in which he ripped the “liberal” press for wanting Central American children to “be resettled here”; a segment last Thursday titled “Mainstream media coming down harder on the president“; a segment last Wednesday night titled “Are the media finally critical of President Obama?”; and a segment from last Tuesday night titled “Can you trust the media?

The WP asked if I had a world view: Actually I do about the legacy of PO

President Obama: History will view him as a kind compassionate man


The WP asked if I had a world view....well, as a matter of fact, I do....PO will go down in hx not only as the first AF President if the US but also as a compassionate man....he is the first one to include all of the people in the political conversation,,,,and guess what, these people vote--something BO has not quite figured out yet.

Rolling Stones concert review: 50 years on, Mick and the boys still have our number

Celebrating a half-century in circulation, the Rolling Stones made the final U.S. stop of their “50 and Counting” tour Monday night at Verizon Center. Was the tour’s title a subconscious nod to the arithmetic we’ve crunched in our heads every time the Stones have hit the road since 1989?
How old they are now?
And tickets cost how much? Carry the seven. . .
Another question: Would this be the band’s last American gig?
If we’re really counting, it’s been 17,917 days since the Rolling Stones played their first stateside concert — in San Bernardino, Calif., on June 5, 1964. In the decade that followed, the group set the trajectory of rock-and-roll with maniac brio. Its songs were made from crude gestures, but they consistently, mysteriously added up to something triumphant.
At Monday’s gig, the 21 tunes performed — during a two-hour-plus show — felt like a blend of ritual, compulsion and instinct that only a 50-year-old band is capable of summoning. There were some rough edges, but the Rolling Stones’ magic has always emanated from rough edges.
And nobody up there was punching a clock. Keith Richards, his nest of hair cinched in a red headband, seemed overjoyed to be trading chords with fellow guitarist Ron Wood during “Street Fighting Man.” As he coaxed some twinkling nastiness from a margarine-colored Telecaster during “Paint It Black,” he flashed a toothy white smile.
Throughout the night, frontman Mick Jagger remained a freakish miracle, indefatigable of limb and larynx, pumping his fists at the air in front of him as if sentenced to bang on some phantom door for the rest of his earthly existence. (In addition to his unrelenting energy, he also let loose a blistering zinger during a banter break with the Washington crowd: “I don’t think President Obama is here tonight. . . . But I’m sure he’s listening in.”)
But the biggest miracle up there was drummer Charlie Watts, who celebrated his 72nd birthday earlier in the tour. He did serious work with a light touch, burrowing into the beat of “Gimme Shelter” as if digging a ditch with a teaspoon.
Right up through a three-song encore, this was a give-them-what-they-paid-for kind of show, but that didn’t stop Jagger, Richards, Wood and Watts from finding fresh creases and contours in their songbook. With the help of bassist Darryl Jones, keyboardist Chuck Leavell, and sax men Bobby Keys and Tim Ries, the hits kept adding up.
Number of songs where Richards sang lead: two (“You Got the Silver,” “Before They Make Me Run”).
Number of songs where self-exiled Stone Mick Taylor materialized to play guitar: two (”Midnight Rambler,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”)
Number of ladies undergarments pelted at Jagger: at least two.
Number of days before we get to do this all again: unknown.

my car, my money, etc., etc., etc.,......I really wanted to see the Rolling Stones on this tour but there was just no way I could afford it or arrange it, it was just out of my reach......Yes, I am disappointed......
Seriously, thank God for you-tube.........cl
