Obama's actions will speak for themselves. Reaching out to the far right in the media without changing his politics will not make any progress.
I view it as the duty of journalists and alternative media sources in the US to cirticize government officials. Keeps us actively engaged in the political process. Gives us something to think and talk about.
For the record - while I don't enjoy listening to Hannity and Limbaugh, I do think they have the concept of freedom of speech down pat.
