Ithink it was because of O'Reilly.They know how powerful the press is in U.S..

Is this just like his boycott of France, which resulted in Americans buying even more products from France. Check the facts. Bill has only power over the .006% of the American public who watch his show are too stupid to know what real news is.
America
This Administration is going out of its way to undermine the last Administration,
and the American people,
and cutting us down, every chance he gets,
this is disgraceful.
Call your Representitives and tell them to start Impeachment procedures
this Presidency is a disgrace to OUR COUNTRY
and stop APOLOGIZING to everyone makes you look weak.

Russia tried the same thing but they backed down and know what will happen Spain did the right thing they know that there will be a back lash to this because only koll aid drinker liberals think Bush did 9/11 ans so on.
Dave
OMG does anyone really believe this BS

Backing off because of the threat of economic sanctions from US buyers? Guess what...too late. I plan to stop buying any products from Spain today. I have purposefully looked for olive oil from Spain specifically Pompeian...no more! Research Franco. He thought Spain could be self-suffieient. He caused Spain to be behind in exports of their products...Hail Franco! Spain you are on your own as far as I am concerned. Boycott Spainish products! Our dollars do have power!!

I don't know what or who caused the changed, but I am glad they did. It was such an insult to our country. Now I wish the Obama Admin would quit blaming everything on the Bush Admin. Address the problems; not the past!

Lightbringer
Sure....As soon as we prosecute the Kennedy Crime family, the Obama-Chicago Mob, Rahm Immanuel, And don't even begin to think that we've heard the last of the connection between Blago and Obama....

How easy it must be to put all problems at the feet of the Bush family. Time to take a deep breath and move on to important issues. If there was evidence , you can be sure that congress would act against Bush. The fact that they haven't speaks volumes

Sort of like O'Reillys boycott of everything French at the beginning of the invasion and occupation of Iraq1
He urged viewers to boycott while he continued eating at his favorite French restaurant in NYC!
eye5454
You said the restaurant was in NYC right...was it owned by the french? So how was it that oreilly was not boycotting France (a country). He said boycott travel to france, things made in france, and products from france.....again you can eat at a restaurant in the USA and still boycott another country....see french restraurant means they serve french style cousine not that they are owned by the country france...do you follow.

How long before Obama apologizes to Spain?
jp
Well, he was too busy apologizing to Mexico today. Maybe tomorrow.

Spain was pandering to muslims.In the future, if Spain needs our country to come to their defence, my son and daughter will not be helping them!!!

I don't really think that is a choice of yours, unless you plan on them going AWOL. (I assumed they were in the military)

Hey Spain, glad you"wised up!"
Chris
Spain is just blowing hot air. The real story is Europe waited until Oboma visited and went home (nothing worse then a damm yankee) before they started laughing at him. What is sad. he just does not get it.
Toney in TN.
Ok FOX get real. I like Bill as much as anyone else, but don't insult me please.
Spain was wrong to even concider it. But it is over for now so let it go and lets get on with more important things. Like how to keep Obama in Mexico and not letting him back in this Country! Now that would be a cause worth fighting for! LOL!
The Proctologist
Settle down Toney I think they were just having a little fun at old Billy O's expense. As far as Obama goes, I think he inhales, so when he finds out how much weed they got down there, he may not want to come back...
somad
Promise? The best thing that could happen to us is if he didn't want to come back!

PLEASE-----------O'REILLY---------------NOT

Spain was just pandering to the terrorists as usual. They are a very weak and insignificant country. Beautiful women though!
somad
Actually, degree guy, we do want him to stop fixing the economy. He's only making it worse! You can't fix the economy by spending a bunch of money you don't have.
jp3711nc
Last time I checked those same Failed Policies keep us safe for 8 years. I felt less safe when Obama said he is not going to keep this country safe to pander to your ilk.
John
Wow. So much hatred from a so-called degree. I wasn't writing about Bush or Obama. The subject was Spain and their idiot gov't. Which I firmly believe that their leaders all must be philosophy majors. Just a joke at your expense. Lighten up, it will be alright, just go sit in a quiet place and read. I do and always feel better. Have a good day.:)

Yeah, Bill O'Raly brandished his loofa and took down the Spanish govt. that is asinine and funny at the same time. Come on don't insult our intelligence
DG
WHAT INTELLIGENCE??????????
Hugh-Florida
WHAT INTELLIGENCE? you can't even spell? My you be brandished or as an intelligence person would say...bannished as would O'reilly, not O'raly dip stick.
Guy with a degree in philosophy
That made no sense; plus, I pretty sure he was misspelling "O'Reilly" on purpose, you nincompoop.
Anonymous
As a Spaniard myself, I was appalled and embarassed at Spain's accusations. I can not understand the stance of pandering to terrorists.
Guy with a philosophy degree
Yes, pandering to terrorists by listening to the Red Cross, which the United States agreed to let monitor their activities for instances of torture.
So, according to your logic: Prosecuting a signee of the Geneva Convention for violating the provisions of said convention = pandering to terrorism.
Please, learn to reason. You're an embarrassment to your mentally handicapped mother.

The International Red cross with its headquarters across the United Nations office in Geneva bleeding heart liberal who aren't allowed into Cuba and its prisons I'd like to see a monitor tell us the truth about what's going on on the other side of the GITMO fence. The prisoners there don't have air conditioning or three square religously correct meals or medical attention. Cuba too is a signatory of the Geneva Convention that systematically represses and tortures its own citizens. As for teh Spanish Government they are pandering to their overwhelming illegal Muslim immigrants. They too refused to consider trying the Cuban government for human rights abuses even though the Robolutionaries confiscated their properties and executed many spanish citizens.

I read the article but to be fair I did not see mention of O'Reilly. Did I miss it? I didn't see a continuation page. Maybe his mention of a boycott helped, if so, good.
