Sign of the Apocalypse -- Bill O'Reilly Praises Barack Obama

Wait a minute, Barack Obama is a certified Democrat, and Bill O'Reilly is praising him? Does this make any sense?! Isn't he a conservative talk show host, and, by definition, operated to destruct any goals/accomplishments/falters by the President? Well, low and behold Bill O'Reilly is for once a real pragmatist, and rightfully (and finally) praised President Obama for his upbringing and how his "rags to riches" story. The American Dream.

Look, everyone knows it's Bill O'Reilly's job to be the conservative that he is, and he should question the majority party's decisions in Capitol Hill to keep them in check/entertain his right wing base. But at the same time, it's good to see a Conservative actually recognize the President's credentials and his life story, and not dismiss it (i.e. Birthers). Politics aside, O'Reilly is one of the few notable Republicans to come out and publicly PRAISE the president, unlike some conservatives who are scared to just because they simply can't accept the fact. and I'll give him kudos for that.

-- O'Reilly's article will be published this Sunday in the Parade magazine. Here's a sneakpeak of the article:

"Barack Obama, a youngster in Hawaii without his parents around, has toughed it out and become one of history’s great stories, no matter what happens going forward," he writes at the end. "What he has achieved in his 48 years is simply astounding. Consider the odds. The United States is a nation of more than 300 million citizens. Only one person is currently the Commander in Chief. That man had no fatherly guidance, is of mixed race, and had no family connections to guide him into the world of national politics. That adds up to one simple truth that every American child should be told: “If Barack Obama
can become the President of the United States, then whatever dream you may have can happen in your life."
