The coward would not have a teleprompter to give him the answers. Now, the cat calls come in for dissing the press and going to Leno. Obama must address the issue, so he comes up with this lame excuse saying Gregory just is not like Russert (with an audible sigh). He's not the Force that Russet was (eyes get all misty). Then it should have been a walk in the park, Mr. Obama. But, taudience is not as big he whines. The audience is, of course, more informed on Meet The Press than Leno, Mr. Obama; so another reason for you to skip the informed viewers and go directly to your starry-eyed cult "Obama will take care of me pacifier-sucking-followers.

Eventually, the snubbing of the press will come back to haunt the Great One, and some of his followers will eventually lose their pacifiers. You know how a baby will respond, if the pacifier goes missing! But then again, Obama probably assumes he already has the press that matters on his side--like daily briefings with his "personal press pal" - George Stephanopoulos.

If it twas really audience numbers he wanted, Mr. Obama should have booked a spot on American Idol.

Somethings terribly wrong when the President goes on Jay Leno instead of a real show where real questions will be asked. Why? Because he doesn’t like hard questions. He’s a lightweight. How long til the rest of America wakes up to this fact? They will see him on Leno and love him because they are all still enjoying the bread and circuses.

Of course the man is an empty suit and an empty head. He cannot appear where he may have to think and reply off the cuff because he has nothing of his own to say.

He is really not capable of performing the duties of POTUS and is the perfect puppet for the Democratic party to implement its Communist agenda.

I heard on the news this morning (local Fox affiliate) that the networks are griping about the money they lose when Obama commandeers them in prime time. I guess he has another Castro-rama scheduled for next Tuesday, IIRC.

After Leno it’s off for Captain Kangaroo, Romper Room and then a tough Q&A from Barney the dinosaur.

” Gregory is terrifically polished, well-informed, a good listener and has the talking points of both sides down cold. But he also seems more intent on covering the waterfront than digging for news, or in pushing the talking heads off their talking points.”

~Head spins wildly while reading this~

So, IOW, Zero is going on Leno because Gregory can’t fill Russet’s shoes and is “more intent on covering the waterfront than digging for news, or in pushing the talking heads off their talking points.”

Oh sure. Leno is going to dig into the fine economic points and in the spirit of bipartisanship, find the truth.

Who the hell writes this stuff? Goebbels?

TOTUS was needed urgently at a top level cabinet meeting.

bammy had to go play in his room until it was free.

AI fans are growing cold as well, since he keeps pre-empting their Tuesday night program.

Somehow, Obama talking about Porkulus on the comedy talk show seems appropriate in the abstract.

Everything is the lot is s big joke.

“he comes up with this lame excuse saying Gregory just is not like Russert (with an audible sigh). He’s not the Force that Russet was (eyes get all misty).”

Are you kidding me? Did he actually say that as an excuse for not going on Meet the Press?

There must be some room for compromise here.

What if rather than the traditional live feed, the Obama interview was taped? The questions could be pre-approved and top advisors could be on hand to input the answers to a teleprompter that would be located just off camera.

Further, the Obama team would get three passes on questions that won’t be aired. Lastly, before the tape is broadcast, Obama handlers could have one last review to remove anything that might make The One look bad.

How’d that be?

Leno will axe hard questions, like what kind of motorcycle he likes or who did he pick to win Idol. Course he will get those before he walks out.

Pray for America and Our Troops

“Don’t forget kids! After Leno it’s off for a whirlwind “Spendulous Package” explanation tour across the country! Is being President Teleprompter a tough job? You bet! First stop? “Mr. Rogers Neighborhood”. Watch the TOTUS as he takes Mr. Rogers’ sweater and donates it to a homeless man living on “Sesame Street”. Next up...see the wacky antics of TOTUS continue with “Thomas the Tank Engine”! Thomas will have some hard hitting questions for TOTUS like...”what’s your problem with coal”? Finally, “Barney the Purple Dinosaur” will get his turn and have a polite, but no holds barred Q&A and ask “why does TOTUS like Jif more than Peter Pan”? All WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER!!!

He skated past any serious questions until now. But now the skating rink is melting. Watch this self-absorbed narcisist go into his shell.
