Three Networks Salivate Over Obama-Seinfeld Comedy Summit Online

On December 22, Kyle Drennen reported NBC’s Today devoted two full reports to President Obama appearing on Jerry Seinfeld’s web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Once again, Obama plays the part of comedian instead of chief executive, and the networks come running. On December 31 – the day the Seinfeld show was available online – all three networks aired gushy reports to close out 2015 on the usual servile note.

The longest on Thursday was on CBS This Morning, with Chip Reid reporting from Hawaii with the rest of the "working" White House press corps. It was almost four minutes (3:52):

It wasn’t all that long ago Seinfeld was saying some non-PC things.

I think he is doing penance for his sin.

Obama plays the part of comedian

Nothing funny about it.

Nothing at all.

I don’t believe that I have ever watched one episode of Seinfeld.

Cinc can also stand for Clown in charge .... which is appropriate for His Arrogance. If you are just a puppet and dance as the strings are pulled then you have a lot of time to develop a clown act.

I was fairly underwhelmed watching the episode. But it was revealing about 0bamas personality. He did not want to show he found very much funny about JS. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I have watched little TV for decades.

Seinfeld I have seen. It’s funny.

I don’t like the sexual mores on it that reflect today’s society.

I like its Americanism.

I have even watched the Comedians in Cars on the net and enjoyed them.

I think less of Seinfeld for promoting and attempting to make Obama more popular and appealing. I wonder if Jerry is a practicing Jew and if he is aware of what Obama has done or proposes to do for Israel and its’ enemies?

Were NYE Songs Too Sad? Who Dies onThe X-Files? Do POTUS and Coffee Not Mix? Where's Negan? And More Qs


| While politicians obviously aren’t above making, say, the occasional late-night talk show appearance, did President Obama cross a fine line by guesting on Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee web series? Do we really want the leader of the free world essentially labeled a comedian? (At least his recent Running Wild appearance had the innate context of ecological consciousness.)

His show was funny, Jerry is not. The Obama thing is boring and silly.

I agree but he was the highest paid???? Turned down $100million for another year of episodes I think. Way overpaid.....

This is why the douche thinks he’s much more than an empty head and an empty suit

B-HO has dedicated his life, from a very young age, to “being liked”. He’s not a Muslim - as many (intellectually lazy) Freeps assert (while also knowing NOTHING of the true nature of Islam). B-HO is simply a man-child who cultivated an articulation of smarmy academics coupled with leftist books he’s thumbed, while also imbibing in occasional weed. Today, he reads a teleprompter but continues to absorb little, as is his life long pathology. He pontificates like a child-king, not too dissimilar from KimJU, of NK. Yet, here we are, incapable of fighting back; oppressed under the fearful thumb of PC. You see, as with the “junior senator” B-HO, the GOPE, wants to be “liked” as well... Not ‘elected’ mind you, but “liked”. It’s a pervasive problem that’s infected too many, similar to the garden variety Zombie features in film and TV.
