O'Reilly on Obama's Unknown Factor

December 22, 2008

By John H. Taylor, The Episconixonian


Bill O'Reilly, host of the most popular news program on cable television, believed that he's summoned, and uniquely positioned, to serve the public, which he calls "the folks," in an era of change and crisis. "The television 'Factor' is going to be a major factor in this country," O'Reilly said Friday evening before a crowd of nearly 1,200 at the Nixon Library. "The O'Reilly Factor's" mission in the year to come: Figuring President Obama out and, if necessary, holding him accountable. "Nobody else in the media's doing what we're doing," he said.

While O'Reilly believes that Obama realizes his political future depends on rescuing the economy in his first two years, the PE's perspective on the war on terrorism seems murkier. One reason: his aggressively anti-torture AG-designate. "There's not an intelligence guy in the country who wants to look over his shoulder and see Eric Holder, who may indict you for anything," O'Reilly said, adding that his sources tell him that professionals are leaving the intelligence services at a startling rate as Bush Administration opponents demand indictments and trials. If there's no new terrorist attack, O'Reilly said, "then they'll harass Bush and Cheney until 2022." If, heaven forbid, there is a new attack, then the anti-torture movement will lose its salience: "Bush and Cheney will say, 'Yeah, [when we were in] we beat the crap out of 'em'."

LETTER FROM YORBA LINDA #66 | July 10, 2008 borderTouring with the White House
By Tom Borcher

Tom has been a member of the Nixon Library Docent Guild since 2002 and is a practicing attorney in
Los Angeles with Jacobs, Jacobs & Eisfelder.

 

     White House history being a “hobby” of mine, one of the biggest thrills in my five years as a docent at the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace was when John Zweifel’s Miniature White House went on display in 2004.  (“Miniature” in this case being a model 70 feet by 30 feet.)   I developed a forty-five minute “tour” of the model including the history of both the model and the “real” White House.”  I enjoyed giving the presentation to our guests on weekends and holidays.  The day came, however, when John rolled it into his distinctive semi-truck for other destinations.

        When I learned that the model was to be displayed at the George H. W. Bush Library in College Station, Texas, I asked them if I could give my presentation there.  Based largely on some kind words by folks here at the Nixon Library, I was invited to Texas over the Memorial Day Weekend in 2007.
