Fox News Bill O'Reilly at Senator Obama's Campaign Rally

It is an interesting read to hear about Bill O'Reilly's presence at Senator Obama's campaign in New Hampshire.

Watching reality television at an Obama rally

You know when a celebrity television personality like Bill O'Reilly arrives at a political event because they always have a retinue and because people turn their cameras and camera phones from the candidate to capture the famous face. When the popular Fox News entertainer arrived at the Obama event in Nashua, N.H., people turned to him but not always approvingly.


Senator Obama's response to O'Reilly's presence.
When Obama passed, he looked like he was headed for the door but stopped to talk to the Fox host. The conversation was short. O'Reilly did not seem to be causing the commotion in the national interest—I heard no questions about marginal tax rates—but instead he made a personal appeal to Obama to get him on his show. (I can't be sure; I heard only part of the conversation.) Obama appeared to say that he would come on sometime.
