O’Reilly spends a full two minutes, a little more actually, on discussing Michelle Obama’s angry-looking disposition with his two guests, Rebecca Johnson and Michelle Oddis. Why? What’s the point? Do voters really care whether Michelle Obama is an angry person or cheerful?
I think the subtext behind Bill O’Reilly’s dialogue with these two female columnists is Michelle Obama’s comment earlier this year that she was proud of her country “for the first time in her life.” Whatever she meant by it, the comment didn’t sit well with many voters, particularly white, middle-class voters. Should Bill O’Reilly keep harping on this? I mean, to me it seems like old news. She’s already apologized for the comment and explained what she meant. Should Bill O’Reilly really pay that much attention to a potential first lady’s disposition? It just seems to me to be rather trivial.
