President Barack Obama will be appearing on Fox News Wednesday. Obama plans to pitch health care reform on the television network known for its support of conservative values.
Fox News says that President Barack Obama will be on air at 6 p.m. EDT for a one-hour interview. Obama will be meeting with Special Report's Bret Baier, the cable network said Tuesday.
Reuters reports that Baier
said, "This is a real opportunity to try to get some firm answers from President Obama on lingering questions about specifics in the health care legislation, the process Democrats are using to try to pass it, and the politics of its passage. And it's an opportunity to try to pin the president down on a few other hot topics. We welcome the opportunity and think it will be a benefit to our viewers."
A panel consisting of Steve Hayes, A.B. Stoddard, Juan Williams and Charles Krauthammer will analyzing the interview afterward.
Barack Obama has made few appearances on Fox News - an interview with Bill O'Reilly just before the 2008 presidential elections and another last year with Major Garrett.
