Networks Swoon Over President's Fake Interview to Push ObamaCare
Newsbusters.org ^ | March 11, 2014 | Kyle Drennan

On Tuesday, all three network morning shows dutifully touted a fake interview President Obama conducted with comedian Zach Galifianakis designed to help the commander-in-chief hock ObamaCare to young people. On NBC's Today, social media co-host Carson Daly gushed: "It's over six minutes long...all of it is really, really funny....You know, the First Lady's been everywhere showing her comedy chops and it's been great. But boy, the President, he is amazing in this. So check that out this morning if you have time." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]

Later in the show's 9 a.m. ET hour, weatherman Al Roker praised Obama's comedic genius: "It's about the delivery and the President shows he's got the comedy chops." Co-host Tamron Hall declared: "Yes, yes. Which he shows at the White House Correspondents' Dinner every year." Co-host Willie Geist explained: "It was part of a – this concerted effort to promote the Affordable Care Act. Because they get into that and the President's allowed to explain it."

This is how far presidential prestige has fallen. Russians are walking all over Ukraine and this Kenyan clown goes on vacation and returns to go on a comedy show.

This Kenyan monkey turd wants the respect of the World and Putin has called him for what he is... a sissified, homo, monkey turd.

It looked like he wanted to cry when the other guy cracked a joke about him. I saw a thin skinned little man who doesn't know how to take criticism, even when it's done as a joke.

I can’t listen to the clown in chief’s voice but I read the transcript. This interview has been the hardest one he’s ever had.

If this interview had happened in 2008 this Marxist scumbag would still be in Illinois fighting to murder children.

He saw the whole script before the show. All of obama’s reactions were fake.

I can’t believe how the morning people thought it was funny.

Obama and the fat guy were so wooden. Maybe that was supposed to be what was funny?

Looks like they tried to imitate Sgt. Friday and his parter in the old Dragnet show but failed miserably. Obama does not do deadpan well at all.

The video was so inspiring, it inspired Putin to go invade another country.

He's grabbing territory while Obama does shtick.

That is the most vile, unseemly thing I've ever seen an American President do. I can't believe the furor that arose when Nixon went on Laugh-In and simply said "Sock It To Me."

Remember when CEOs were actually great spokesmen for their organizations? Here's a famous one from 30 years ago...

His time as President has been nothing but a big joke.

This was a disaster.

Of course the media is going to declare it a success.

Could this POTUS be any worse?

Sure Obama and his regime including his ball and chain are a laugh a minute a real hoot and the joke is on all of us.

If I recall, Nixon wasn’t President yet when he went on Laugh In.

Probably had his tele-prompter there, too.

".....a fake interview designed to help the Commander-in-Chief HOCK ObamaCare to young people...."

Definitely a freudian slip. We'll all be in hock after ObamaCare.
