Among the softballs gently tossed at President Obama Monday during his visit with the ladies of "The View," Barbara Walters wanted to know "what would be so terrible if Mitt Romney were elected?"

"Would it be disastrous for the country?" she asked.

It's an issue Mr. Obama has addressed countless times in the 61 campaign rallies and over 200 fundraisers he's done since filing with the Federal Election Commission as a candidate for re-election last year.

"We can survive a lot," the president said of the prospect of a Romney victory. "But the American people don't want to just survive. We want to thrive."

The president said he and Romney have decidedly different visions of how to grow the economy. "We grow faster when the middle class is doing well," he said.

Ever since candidate Bill Clinton donned Blues Brothers sunglasses and played his saxophone on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1992, it's become an increasingly frequent occurrence for presidential incumbents and challengers to appear on TV shows more often home to Hollywood celebrities than political leaders.

I Can't figure out if that is a Freudian slip, Narcissist Personality Disorder, just plain queer, or pathetic and stupid.

If he had meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu like an actual President instead of hanging with hens on The Spew he might have gained a shred of credibility.

Too late now...

This is a rather lame attempt by Obama to evoke a connection with JFK, who, on a trip to France in 1961, jokingly identified himself as “the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.”

It’s a fake attempt to portray humility. Kennedy had the charm to pull it off. Obama, not so much.

...the ladies of “The View,”....

Oh, how I wish people would not use the term “lady” so loosely. There are females on that show, but I don’t see ladies there.

Rather than meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Obama preferred to sit on a couch with two ugly babbling old women, a big butt racist and a blonde Jack in a Box.
