President Obama to Appear on 'The View' (Thursday)
The Baltimore Sun ^ | Monday, July 26, 2010 | David Zurawik

Posted on 07/26/2010 6:10:15 AM PDT by kristinn

President Obama, who just a few weeks ago said he doesn't have time for TV "theater," will appear on ABC's "The View" Thursday. The show claims it is the first time a sitting president has done daytime TV.

It follows a pattern of this presidency I've described often here as: When the going gets rough, the president goes on TV -- often in entertainment venues that guarantee he wil;l be celebrated and can control his message. This visit looks like a direct response bto the criticism he has received for his administration firing USDA worker Shirley Sherrod last week.

After all, most of the time he acts like he’s ‘just one of the girls’.

To say that all those clowns deserve each other is an understatement!

BTW, who buys ad time on “The Pew”?

This “expired mind” would like to know!!

Yea, it’ll probably be almost pornographic to watch those gals sitting within fainting distance of their idol man-god.

The one conservative on that show is going to be in a very, very tough situation. Being taped (scripted and edited but no teleprompter), that will be some kind of pressure and intimidation. Just the way, the only way zero operates.

Take some dramamine, the spin will be incredible.

Barbara Walters will also be appearing for the first time since her heart surgery. Under Obamacare, I wonder if people BaBa’s age would be allowed such surgery.

If they brought Megyn Kelly or Anne Coulter in as an interviewer at the last minute, that show would eclipse all other TV experiences in history.

That does not speak well for a sitting president, IMHO.

Note to The Puke: Maybe there's a REASON for that.

But seriously, the gals on The Puke should feel honored -- 0bamib probably gave up his tee time for that appearance.

At this point, no one should be surprised by this. Now that the ‘campaign season’ is starting to ramp up, Barry’s right back in his element, talking and doing nothing. This man is in perpetual campaign mode, that’s all he knows how to do.

Apparently he’s the 1st sitting pResident to appear on a late night talk show too (Leno)

I wonder when he’ll be the 1st sitting pResident to guest judge on American Idol

He should do an Iron Chef too - secret ingredient - Arugula!

I'd like to see him on Cash Cab.

His sorry @$$ would be back out on the street after three questions.

What a coward Barack Obama is. He’s got Plugs Biden out doing all of the campaign work. But Barack only has grit enough to show his face to friendly audiences between rounds of golf. He chose well when he chose “The View.” Maybe Joy Behar will lose control of her bodily functions or faint dead away with ecstasy.

The only viewers are brain dead women who voted for the jerk off and would probably vote for him again if he survives a hillary and bill attack, which I doubt..
