If politics is more your game, there was another, much-hyped showdown to watch before Sunday�s Super Bowl: President Barack Obama vs. Fox News host Bill O�Reilly.

The two haven�t sat down since 2008, when Obama was a presidential candidate. Since then, his administration has been at odds with the cable news outlet, with former communications director Anita Dunn declaring it �opinion journalism masquerading as news.�

Here�s what the ideological adversaries talked about during the 14-minute interview:

Egypt

Obama: Trying to suppress your own people is something that is not sustainable, and part of the message we�re seeing all around the world is that when you resort to suppression � that does not work.

O�Reilly: Yeah, but it worked for 30 years, so (President Hosni Mubarak) had his run.

Health care

O’Reilly: Other people see it as a huge government intrusion and you guys just want to take over decision-making for Americans.

Obama: Bill, I just want to be clear about this. If you look at what we’ve done, what we’ve said was, ‘If you’ve got health care you like, you keep it.’

O’Reilly: I know all about it. Mr. President, I listen to it every day.

Entitlements

O�Reilly: Do you deny that you�re a man who wants to redistribute wealth?

Obama: Absolutely. Bill, I didn�t raise taxes once, I lowered taxes over the past two years.

Being president

O�Reilly: Does it disturb you that so many people hate you?

Obama: The people who dislike you, don�t know you. The folks who hate you, they don�t know you.

Watching the Super Bowl

O�Reilly: Do you know football? Do you know blitzes and coverage and all that?

Obama: I schmooze with everybody when they come. Give them a little bit of time, but once the game starts they can just sit down and watch the game. � I don�t want them coming up chitin� and chattin�.
