For Barack Obama, it could be the difference between a friendly chat and a tense grilling.

He is scheduled to appear Thursday night with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor." It is Obama's first appearance on the show, which is typically unfriendly to Democrats.

According to Fox's announcement today, Obama will be interviewed from York, Pa., and the first part of the interview will air at 8 p.m. EDT Thursday, with additional parts following in the days thereafter. "O’Reilly will address a variety of topics including Obama’s political career, domestic issues and foreign policy in Iran and Iraq," Fox said.

Then on Monday, Obama is to appear with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," the network announced this afternoon.

It is his first time on the show, which is famously Obama-friendly and anti-President Bush, since March. It also airs at 8 p.m. EDT.
