On last night’s O’Reilly Factor/Body Language segment (11/18/09), Tonya Reiman had some interesting observations about O’Reilly’s interviews with (conservative) Sarah Palin, (MSM) Sally Quinn, and (conseeeeeeeeervative – and male) Lou Dobbs.

When it comes to the issue of U.S.-Cuba relations, Barack Obama, due to his inexperience and naiveté, continues traveling the failed road of his ten predecessors. This is due, I believe, to the typical arrogance of American presidents. They think they own the world. The facts of the matter is that they don't.
