by Janice Kaplan
Bill O'Reilly, FOX's famously conservative crank, has another side.
He may not like my revealing it, but here's the truth: he can be an extremely nice guy.
On a recent Saturday afternoon, he gathered a group of children of varied ages and ethnic backgrounds outside his beautiful suburban home. He was warm and welcoming to all of them. O'Reilly's down-to-earth wife--graciously pretty in a summer sundress and flat sandals--made sure that everyone felt comfortable. With a photo shoot about to begin, she kept her easygoing calm, tucking in shirts and patting down hair--including Bill's. ....
"Why did you write the article? Given your audience and what your fans expect of you, why write something supporting Obama?" ....
"I don't agree with all of Obama's policies," O'Reilly said. "But
I admire what he's done as a person. I came from poor circumstances and I'm impressed by how he lifted himself up. I think it's a good lesson, and children can learn from it. We should take positive examples wherever we find them."
With that comment--and his article in PARADE--
O'Reilly has also set an example. We all become too entrenched in our positions--conservative or liberal, for the President or against him. ....

by Bill O'Reilly
.... The disruption of the traditional American family is also adversely affecting millions of children. Right now, almost 22 million American kids are living with one parent; more than 80% of those are being raised primarily by Mom. Just 50 years ago, a child living without a father was somewhat of a rarity. Now it’s an epidemic.
Thus, our modern age presents vast challenges to children, and they need to learn lessons quickly in order to prosper. And who better to teach them than the President of the United States?
Barack Obama's Letter to His Daughters
As has been widely chronicled, Barack Obama had a tough childhood filled with instability and loneliness. However, that did not stop him from rising to become the most powerful man in the world. His breathtaking achievement presents five important lessons for all children. ....
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.”
It all depends on lessons learned.
