Pelosi: O'Reilly-Obama interview 'inappropriate'

CloseBy JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 2/7/11 1:13 PM EST

It was “completely inappropriate” and “jarring” to hear Bill O’Reilly ask President Barack Obama why Americans hate him, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Monday.

O’Reilly asked “a completely inappropriate question” of the president, Pelosi said on “The Gayle King Show.” In a live pre-Super Bowl interview with Obama on Sunday afternoon, the Fox News host asked the president, “Does it disturb you that so many people hate you?”

“I don’t think the word hate should be used at all. I mean, when I was growing up, we never hated people,” the California Democrat said.

Pelosi said that Obama “beautifully handled” the question by responding that “the people who dislike you don’t know you,” but she was still perturbed by O’Reilly’s word choice.

“To hear this used in the presence of the president of the United States, I think we all have to recognize that while we disagree with people and while we may think that they are wrong, we shouldn’t think that they are bad and we shouldn’t ever use the word hate in the context of people unless you’re talking about Hitler or somebody like that,” she said.

Pelosi said that Obama has been “right on” in his handling of an uncertain situation in Egypt and that his comments on the subject during the interview with O’Reilly were “very appropriate.”

Pelosi also weighed in on NASA astronaut Mark Kelly’s decision to command a space shuttle flight in April as his wife Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) continues to recover from a gunshot wound to the head. “I thought, ‘Bravo, this is the right decision for him to make,’” she said. “He knows full well how devoted Gabby was to his career, as he is to hers. It’s not just about his career, it’s about something very important to this country.”

The former speaker of the House also had some kind words for teen singer Justin Bieber, who King said she interviewed last week. Pelosi said her grandchildren are fans of the teen pop star. She later added: “He’s adorable but he’s also substantial.”
