HATING PRESIDENT OBAMA
"At the height of the Iraq War, the vilification of President Bush was off the chart. The left accused him and Vice President Cheney of lying to get us into the war, of sacrificing American military people so Halliburton could make money, and a variety of other vile allegations. Enter President Obama, who is also loathed by some Americans. There is no question that his policies are controversial. He is a big tax and spend guy, has increased the power of the federal government, has ordered a quasi-amnesty for some illegal aliens, has withdrawn completely from Iraq, and has imposed a healthcare system that many people despise. In the upcoming presidential campaign, the Republican candidates will point out where they differ with President Obama and by proxy Hillary Clinton. One of Mrs. Clinton's challenges is deciding whether to repudiate some of Mr. Obama's policies. If she doesn't, the Republicans have an opportunity to put her on the defensive. But any Republican who says personal things about either the president or Mrs. Clinton will be making a tremendous mistake. Right now America is in a bad place. We are weak overseas and the economy is still mainly rewarding the wealthy. President Obama has had six years to improve that situation and he has failed to do so. That's an objective analysis based upon facts, not a personal attack. And here's a final fact. I've had discussions with both George W. Bush and Barack Obama. They see the world differently but they both have absorbed tremendous punishment in order to serve their country. I respect that and hope the upcoming presidential campaign will not be a smear-fest. There's too much at stake for that to happen."

Radio talk show hosts Alan Colmes and Mike Gallagher, a liberal and a conservative, respectively, opined on the haters who call their shows daily. "They have the right to feel the way they feel," Gallagher said, "based on President Obama's words and actions. He often appears to be more sympathetic to Muslims than to Christians. He ignored Coptic Christians when their heads were chopped off." Colmes lamented that many of his liberal callers still say vile things about George W. Bush. "When people call me and say Bush is a Nazi, that's totally wrong but I give them a chance to speak. There are also people who say Bush and Cheney knew about 9/11 and it was an inside job." The Factor theorized why some Americans are suspicious of President Obama's motives: "There is a perception that he goes out of his way to give cover to Muslims, while he brings up things Christians did hundreds of years ago."

Guests:Andrea Tantaros & Jessica Ehrlich
When a conservative judge suggested that our rights come from God, CNN host Chris Cuomo ridiculed that notion and insisted that our rights are actually conferred by politicians and courts. The Factor invited Andrea Tantaros and Jessica Ehrlich to join that debate. "Chris Cuomo used the rights afforded to him to bully and intimidate that judge," Tantaros said, "and I don't think the judge should have gone on that show. The judge is right, our rights do come from God." Ehrlich theorized that our rights actually emanate from multiple sources. "There's a difference between our inalienable rights that are based on our Judeo-Christian values and the rights that come from our legal and justice systems. Our system is set up so we don't have clerics handing out biblical justice." The Factor added, "The secular progressive belief system discounts God totally, they say God should have no place at all in the public forum."

Guest:Karl Rove
Ruling on a suit brought by 26 states, a federal judge in Texas blocked President Obama's executive action on immigration. FNC analyst Karl Rove looked ahead to what comes next on the immigration front. "This is very much up in the air," Rove said, "and remember that the president himself said 22 times that he didn't have the authority to do that. This judge took on the core argument of the administration and called this a blanket amnesty to five-million people." The Factor reported that the judge's ruling hasn't had much of an impact: "President Obama doesn't care what the judge says, he's going ahead with this amnesty."

Guests:Eric Shawn & Shannon Bream
There are reports that the Border Patrol is under orders to ignore deportation hearings for illegal immigrants. FNC anchor Eric Shawn administered a dose of truth serum to those reports. "This all starts with the NTA, or 'Notice to Appear,'" Shawn reported, "which orders illegal immigrants to go before an immigration judge. An email from an official at the Border Patrol says there will now only be limited instances where these NTAs will be issued." On another subject, voters in Alaska have approved the use of recreational marijuana. FNC's Shannon Bream supplied a toke of truth serum. "There are tribal leaders in Alaska's native population who are really worried about this because they say their young people already have problems with alcohol abuse. There's definitely a generational split between the elders of the tribe and the teenagers."

Guest:Dennis Miller
Dennis Miller, rarely considered spaced out, weighed in on the Dutch firm that is selling one-way trips to Mars. Miller nominated a few people he'd like to see on board the spacecraft. "If I had to send a group to the red planet," he quipped, "I would send the 'green' movement. And if I had to send a couple of individuals, I'd send the dual-headed hydra of Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer. I'd send those two space cadets up there so the Martians would assume we are all that stupid." Miller also critiqued the Academy Awards show, which attracted a smaller TV audience than in prior years. "What's catching up to them is that you can't depend on regular people throughout the year to make your nut and then infer that those people are nuts."

Guest:Martha MacCallum
The movie American Sniper is shooting down the competition at the box office, raking in close to $400-million. But to many entertainment types on the coasts, the movie is derided as red meat for patriotic yahoos. Martha MacCallum analyzed the dichotomy. "There definitely is a divide," she said, "and American Sniper was the only best picture nominee to be seen by more than 12-million people. I spoke with some Hollywood producers who say all the money is now in superhero movies. So Hollywood wants to make these smaller and more artistic movies that make them feel good about themselves. Those movies end up being nominated." The Factor added, "They don't like the fact that Clint Eastwood didn't make America the villain."

Randy Cohick, Centre Hall, PA: "Bill, Kirsten Powers was unable to articulate any plan to defeat ISIS, yet she criticized your plan as being overly simple. General Patton said it best - a good plan today is better than a great plan tomorrow."

Edward Finley, Las Vegas, NV: "Kirsten stated that you can't just get a bunch of people together and invade a country. Isn't that what ISIS did?"

Al Leake, Jayess, MS: "Bill, you speak with forked tongue. One day you say the president does love his country; yesterday you lambaste him for lack of action on ISIS."

Paul Johnson, Portland, OR: "The reason the left hates Fox News is fascism. They want to silence anyone who doesn't think like they do."

Because every person running for president will be attacked, often unfairly, by nefarious websites, we will do everything possible report the truth and repel the lies.
