Obama, Get the Hell Off My TV!
BenjaminShapiro.com ^ | 4-12-10 | Ben Shapiro

President Obama recognizes the power of pop culture. That's why he won't get out of our faces. Today, the media reported that President Obama and his allegedly lovely wife Michelle will be appearing on "American Idol" to stump for charity.

This marks the 1,987th pop culture show Obama has appeared on. He invaded the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, where cameras conveniently omitted the fact that he throws like a girl. He stopped by the Super Bowl to irritate the bejesus out of everyone with a ten, count-em' ten, minute interview. He stopped by the NCAA Final Four weekend coverage for a kiss-ass session with Harry Smith. He has already appeared on Leno and Letterman. He's used Oprah to campaign and danced on Ellen.

All of this begs the question: can he get the hell off of my television? Seriously. I love politics. I enjoy the brutal smackdowns, the gamesmanship, the partisanship, the policy wonkishness. But sometimes, I just want to watch a damn TV show or sporting event without seeing the man busily shredding the Constitution grinning at me as though I should be happy to invite him into my home.

Seems like the more he's on TV the more his approval rating goes down.
Can we vote them off American Idol?

I won’t say what I think MIchelle o looks like, or I’ll be accused of racism.

Everything she says or does lacks class, and is trashy to the extreme (especially her “hate America” attitude). Even the clothes she wears are trashy. It would be easy for her to hire a fashion consultant, so I don’t know why she should dress trashy. I guess that she just chooses to dress that way—it reflects what she really is.

She’s a perfect helpmeet for the muslim monster obama, I guess.

She makes me miss Laura Bush, who is a real lady.

I wonder if his supporters get tired of seeing him on TV.

All they have to do is tune in to the Obama Channel, AKA MSNBC.

That’s good news. I thought only a few people even watched them.

He's no different than any other dictator. He thinks he has to be seen and heard 24 hours a day.

You nailed it, he is not dissimilar to Hugo Chavez and his 14 hour TV programs talking about himself. It's amazing that the electorate voted for a narcissist and total goofball (that silly 8 year old smile he wears is disgusting) as POTUS.

That's the point. Why should someone have to switch the channel? He imposes himself by appearing everywhere.

I was half expecting him to show up in the broadcasting booth at the Masters yesterday. Thankfully he didn't, so I didn't have to flip the channel or mute it.

The half-breed isn’t about to get out of your or my face until he is dumped along with the rest of the Democrat trash in 2012.

I don’t watch television when I am at home.
I just spent three weeks at my parents in Texas, and each time Obama showed his mug on the tube, telling his lies, I was giving the TV the single digit salute. They understood.
