I recorded CSPAN's coverage of the Obama Nashua Rally, and I caught O'Reilly and Obama talking (after O'Reilly's altercation with a staffer, but probably before Obama knew about it).
The audio isn't the greatest but one can make out O'Reilly saying "You're
a good guy. We've liked you..." to Obama and Obama talking to O'Reilly about doing something "after the primary" (possibly "primaries?)
It's a very short interaction but it's definitely them.
Video below or at my blog at my blog for those who want to help me transcribe the exchange.
You may have read about O'Reilly striking or shoving an Obama staffer today in Nashua, New Hampshire. Here are reports by John Dickerson at Slate, and Lynn Sweet at the Sun-Times.
As both reports note, Obama spoke with O'Reilly after the incident, apparently unaware of O'Reilly having shoved the staffer.
C-Span carried the rally and, as they often do, kept the camera and microphones rolling after the speech. I recorded the event and noticed that part of the Obama-O'Reilly exchange was caught by C-SPAN. Here is the video:
I've attempted a rough transcript, too. It's on my blog at:

Comments about the transcript there may help me hash out exactly what's being said.
