I’ll give O’Reilly this – he gave us the first half of what appears to be a great interview. Really, he put Hannity’s hour long borefest interview last night to shame.  Click here to see part two. Here’s part one:

The interview with sarah pallen was excellent, On your next show when you had some guess on, and asked them what they thought of the interview, their remark was always the same,why did she leave her position in alaska?,they don't want to accept the answer because if they do, then they wouldn't have any thing to complain about,.unfortunaly lies to them are better then the truth.

You folks can't be serious. I vote Republican 90% of the time but Palin is a disasted. When Bill asks her if she's smart enough to be President and her answer is the following, can you really still say she's smart?""I believe that I am because I have common sense, and I have, I believe, the values that are reflective of so many other American values. And I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the kind of a spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite Ivy League education and a fact resume that's based on anything but hard work and private sector, free enterprise principles. Americans could be seeking something like that in positive change in their leadership. I'm not saying that has to be me.".Huh?

All questions and answers were given to her. then told to go home and memerize them. You can't go from the stuped answers she gave on the campaign to smart overnight. Remeber she didn't want to answer some of the questions. She just wanted to talk to the people. No this was all phony.

O'Reilly knocked it out of the park with the kind of questions I would have asked. A lot of us Sarah supporters were totally frustrated with the way McCain's campaign handled Sarah Superstar. As I recall, McCain got his only plurality in the polls right after Sarah's convention speech.

Anybody think that perhaps that Oprah is trying to throw her media weight around by stealing the spotlight from Sarah Palin?I just find it a bit ironic, that this week was Palin's big media splash, this is the week that America would really have a chance to be re-introduced to Sarah Palin. Through tv appearances(oprah's show as well), press coverage, radio interviews, all on the heels of her book release....and THIS is the week, that (finally) Oprah has issued a statment about her show ending in two YEARS. Me thinks, that Oprah is still tap dancing as fast as she can for the first family.

I loved Sarah when she first introduced herself to us all. After the media attacks, I grew discouraged. Now that she's back on the scene, I feel so excited again. I am thrilled to see her doing these interviews and to be able to read her book. I figured after her governor resignation that she isn't going to run for President. Now I can't help but wonder, and the thought of her as President is extremely exciting, esp. after listening to this interview. She is so awesome now that she's on her own and doesn't have a governorship, handlers, and anything else keeping her from speaking whatever she would like to say.I literally cried when I heard her speech at the RNC because I am a pro-life, conservative, Christian 40 something woman, and to see this like-minded woman with so much life to her and so much strength the way she gave such a beautiful speech having never before spoken to the nation like that... it was one of the most encouraging, wonderful things for me. I am so disappointed, sad, and angered by the current administration and the way I feel that my voice means nothing to them. I was frustrated by liberals talking about how most women vote Democrat and are pro-choice, etc. And so Sarah Palin speaks for me like no one else.What an awesome day it'll be if she is elected President! She is very humble, which came across in this interview where she actually asks O'Reiley how to "pivot" away certain questions. If she's got things to learn between now and 2012, she seems fully capable of learning them. And I agree with another poster here that she is a role model. Even 40 somethings like me need role models like Palin! And Couric most certainly is not a role model. And now, after seeing Palin in these interviews and the way she handles herself and treats others graciously and kindly, I almost want to contact her and beg her.... Please run for President, Sarah!! Of course, I won't contact her but I really do hope she runs!

I admire and love Sarah, keep on talking and show them what you got...ms perky couric has got nothing on you, she is a hateful and disdainful so called journalist who should've stayed on the today show interviewing lame a@@ celebritards. Couric is not a woman who young girls can look up to and admire. Sarah you are the role model all young girls can look up to and I hope one day a woman in America can be President.

Wow! I like Sarah Palin personally and still need to be convinced that she can handle the job of president. But I'm willing to be convinced by her. I thought the interview with Hannity was only so/so. I was totally thinking that she would flop against Bill O'Reilly. I am completely blown away here... she handled that interview the best! She was absolutely impressive, succinct, comfortable, and I loved her answers. She has to brush up on the policy stuff, but I'm starting to believe that her values will drive her decision making and we will end up with a female Reagan. I'm leaning now toward believing she's going to be ready to be President. Keep pushing for us, Sarah, and THANK YOU!

I give Sarah Pallen an A+ concerning the interview with Bill O'Reilley. I hope she run for president and show some of the past presidents that a women who has sound values is what we need for this country. People in this country are getting tired of hearing lies and false promises which is hurting America self image.
