President Barack Obama tried to revive his common touch on Thursday with a mainly light-hearted appearance on daytime television where five women hosts grilled him about his Blackberry, Lindsay Lohan and the Afghan war.

His appearance was the first by a sitting U.S. president on a daytime talk show. It allowed Obama to appeal directly to a targeted audience as he fights flagging poll numbers while he and his fellow Democrats try to avoid big losses in the November congressional election.

"The View" typically draws 3-4 million viewers and is particularly popular with women who are home at its late-morning air time.

BO says he’s a mongrel. Yet, BO the dog is pure bred. Go figure.

“stay at home moms and a lot of northeast yentas watch The View.”

Stay at home Moms are far to committed to raising their children to have time to waste watching this drivel.

Stay-at-home-lazy welfare-cheats are the ones watching the view.

O'Bama is rapidly becoming a tragic figure of his own making.

Wenches? I think you meant WITCHES!

Well, that's a first. The MSM managed to put “light-hearted appearance” and “Afghan War” in a description of the same event. But, hey, a “light-hearted” look at WWII worked for The Producers!

You really have to wonder whose idea that was, and who the sycophants were whole told him it was a good idea to go on that show.

"Mojo" is a bag of magical charms and animal parts, a vestige of African pagan religious practice. He must be going back to his roots. Wonder what his Islamic bosses would have to say about that?

Wrong-headed comment.

As a ditzy minivan-driving soccer mom with lots of similar-minded friends, we are NOT a part of Barry0’s base.

You knoweth not that of which you post.

[Jedidah]

Thank you for saying that. It’s true.

Ahem...you left out “lying, usurping, duplicitous” in front of “Muslim bastard”.

I believe that's redundant

[henkster]

If you know you don’t like Barry0, then by definition you can’t be ditzy. Not completely anyway.

WELL, AT LEAST I WASN’T UNNECESSARILY REPETITIVE...

[gg grams]

This the most un-dignified, classless, president in history. I want to puke everytime I seee him in the oval office with his feet on such an historic desk. He is a slug.

I couldn’t bear to turn it on. I knew it would be lame. Yesterday somebody on here termed it an Obama infomercial.

It wasn't on this thread, but i said that if I wanted to see softballs lobbed for an hour, I'd watch Jennie Finch...and she throws much harder than those harpies...
