File under ‘dogs sleeping with cats’.

Huh?  Treachery afoot?  Dog whistle?  Or smart tactic?  Via GigaOm, with the transcript available on All Things Digital.

When the conversation turned to politics things got really interesting. Mr. Murdoch can hardly be acused of being a democrat or a liberal, but he viewed Barack Obama positively and wanted to meet Obama. “I want to know if he’s going to walk the walk,” comparing him to rock star. He didn’t quite endorse Barack, but he said Senator John McCain, the Republican candidate for US president has problems and challenges.

Oh yes,  He also mentioned something about “a dingo eating your baby”.
