On Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “State of the Union,” President Barack Obama’s deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter hinted at what kind of voter the campaign’s media strategy plans to target in the near-term.
While Obama has avoided answering questions from the White House press corps for more than two months now, he has taken on other media outlets for interviews, including People magazine, “Entertainment Tonight” and a New Mexico radio station, where he discussed his taste in music. According to Cutter, making time for those outlets is as important as focusing on traditional media.
“I don’t think that they’re more important, but I think that they’re equally important,” Cutter said. “I think that’s where a lot of Americans get their news. And I think the president’s going to continue doing that. You know, Mitt Romney might have had two media availabilities, but what did he tell you, Jim, in those media availabilities? He told you he wasn’t going to release his taxes because he was afraid of getting attacked. And you know, he spouted off lies [about] the president’s Medicare system. So, do you find that media availability really useful if he is not being transparent about his own policies and distorting the president’s? ”

A “Hollywood” President? That’s what we end up with? This radio interview that he did in New Mexico was something that I’d expect out of some Rap-star or Rodeo-clown. I’d almost be willing to ask Congress to pass a law to forbid interviews like this.
The brain dead. Tell us something we don't already know.
“The Brain Dead”
Bingo! Looter-class, low-lifes who will vote for the “cool guy” because “he likes beer and so do I.” Whoever keeps the freebies flowing — that’s my man, the Republic be damned.
I'm sorry but ET, et al do not report the news. Hollywood gossip maybe but that's all.
The fact that
He's trying to compare "People" Magazine...as in "We the People".....IDIOT...
I don’t know anyone who gets their news from those sources...They buy them for what they are...Hollywood gossip magazines....Geeeeez...What a dummy.......
Maybe he can dance in Dancing with the Stars, too.
To paraphrase LBJ’s remark during the Tet offensive , “If we’ve lost CBS (Walter) we’ve lost the election (the war).
probably one of the few honest statements to come out of this administration. I would think most of those people would normally vote liberal anyway ... but I think the administration is focused on voter turnout. They almost seemed to have given up on the independents and moderates and are focused on getting as many dumn-asses as they can get
For him he fits right in, an actor, a liar and a person who thinks he is above everyone,welcome to Hollywood.
If Obama's IQ is a point higher than 90, I'll eat my hat.
And I don't have a hat.
Of course he would think that.
He thinks he’s a celebrity.
The White House press corps is pathetic and leftwng, but Obama abandoned campaigning for generic votes a long time ago so they don’t matter to our big-eared Marxist. He’s after the stupid vote. So people magazine, Leno, and Oprah are his venues of choice. His live speeches are usually at schools so his teacher union leeches show up. Etc.
At least we know he can read (from his teleprompter).
These people focus mostly on “make believe” and think that someday they too will become a famous movie star.
They now have their “make believe” pResident.
These same people believe that they will win the lottery.
