You ever been on his show before?
No.

President Obama: Hope vs. Reality
The inauguration party is over. What’s next for this country?Dr. Phil and his esteemed guests discuss their thoughts about the new presidency and what to expect in the next four years. How will the Obama presidency change our lives? Can he save this country from financial ruin? What does his economic stimulus plan mean to you at home? Can Obama live up to the hype -- or will our hopes be dashed?
Inside Edition’s Deborah Norville recaps the highlights from the inauguration, and Ann Coulter, controversial author and conservative commentator, gives her opinions on President Barack Obama.
Ann bump. She’s Hot, She’s verbal molten lava. Go Ann.
Man can she think fast! I wish I could do that. I usually wake up in the middle of the night with my great comebacks then I can’t go back to sleep because I’m pissed for missing an oportunity.

FReepers Support Ann Coulter in Hollywood @ Dr. Phil Taping
Ann Coulter was in Hollywood, California this morning at Paramount Studios to appear on the Dr. Phil show.Southern
California's RonDog coordinated a group effort to support Ann. About thirty members of Free Republic showed up at the studios around 7:30 am. Jim Robinson, his wife Sheila, and thier son Chris came down from Fresno to join in.Also attending were a number of the Youngs Republicans from UCLA. Ann didn't have to want for more support. Thanks to RonDog, we had her back. I would say we made up between 25 and 33% of the audience. Ann's contributions to...
FREEPERS invade Dr. Phil Show to Support Ann Coulter
A nice contingent of FReepers, including the famous Robinson family of Fresno, along with some UCLA young Republicans made it to the Dr. Phil show this morning to give support to Ann Coulter.Okay, so the headline was hyperbolic. We
actually didn't invade. We got reservations. It was an interesting show with Annie not shy whatsover in telling the L.A. audience the way things should be. Thanks to Ron Dog for his organizing skills in making it happen.Ann had a great deal of support in the audience as she opposed Alan Colmes and then lying, backstabbing, weasel Scott McClellan....
Damn she’s good!
Thanks for the recommendation. Not that any sane person needs a recommendation to buy any book of Miss Annie’s.
My birthday is coming up & that’s what I’m asking for.
...”Guilty!”
Go Annie!!!
(makes me proud to be a Republican woman!)
Who is your best friend in the world?Whoever Ann's hairdresser friend is, she is doing a GREAT job!
My hairdresser.
Who does your hair?
My best friend.
From FReeper Syncro's photos of Ann, taken earlier today.
That’s a nice interview above. She’s pretty sharp.
Bought it the week it came out. Good book...and I’m only partly through chapter 2.
Whyoo Hoo!!! bttt
Transcript of Ann Coulter on Dr. Phil Show - Thursday, 01/22/2009
http://www.drphil.com/slideshows/slideshow/4922/?id=4922&slide=0&showID=1204&preview=&versionID=
Dr. Phil introduces some political opposites. From the “right” is controversial TV commentator, Ann Coulter. She is the author of seven books, including, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America. Joining the show from the “left” is Alan Colmes, one half of TV’s Hannity and Colmes, and host of his own show on Fox News Radio.
“I’m not a political analyst. I don’t get into all the ideologies of the two sides,” Dr. Phil tells his guests. “What I’m interested in and the only reason I talk about this is I want to know what this means to the average person. Is Obama equal to these promises he’s made, Ann?”
“I don’t know, we’ll see,” she says. “Since he’s been elected, he has been talking a lot more like George Bush than he did during the campaign, and so he may well. And by the way, even though Alan and I disagree about a lot of things, that’s why we care about public policies too, for how it affects real people. If Obama raises taxes, for example, as he claimed he was going to do throughout the campaign, that would throw us into the worst it’s the last thing you want to do in a recession. It would be an economic disaster. And then you know, after he’s elected, two weeks later, he’s saying, ‘Oh, no, we’re not going to roll back the Bush tax cut.’ So if he’s playing the Daily Kos kids and the New York Times editorial page for fools, we’re going to be a lot better off than I thought we were going to be, and that would affect real people.”
“So, you think what he had was a bunch of campaign rhetoric, but now he’s going to pretty much moderate and get back to somewhere ”
“Well, I hope so. That is my hope. That’s our theme: Hope,” Ann says.
“What do you think?” Dr. Phil asks Alan.
“I’m happy to see Ann come a little over to my side. This is very exciting,” he jokes. “Look, this is a guy who obviously reacts to changing conditions. The fact that he’s not necessarily sticking to what he said ideologically during the campaign, it would be nice to have a president who actually reacts to changing conditions and isn’t stuck in some ideological box, like we’ve had for the last eight years, so I think this is great. This in and of itself is a great change.”
“You refer to him in your book as B. Hussein Obama, and you say that he is oily. What do you mean, he’s oily?” Dr. Phil asks Ann.
“Yes. Well, Barack sounds so foreign. I was trying to help him out. And he’s reaching out to Muslims. This was his first State of the Union address where Muslims were mentioned, so I’m helping him with that,” she jokes. “No, the truth of the matter, is, for one thing, it makes Alan hysterical when I call him B. Hussein Obama, so I have to keep saying it.”
“I’m so glad to hear that golden oldy, Ann. That’s so nice to hear that again,” Alan says.
Dr. Phil asks Ann, “What do we need to watch about this new president, about this new administration, because you have said, ‘We don’t really know anything about this guy because the media didn’t really ask him anything’?”
“Right. I mean, people say I go after Barack in the book. I don’t really go after Barack; I go after the media. He is very young,” she says. “Here’s a guy who’s like 14 years old, has been in public service for 10 minutes. This is when you needed a watchdog media. I mean, I could talk about almost any issue and give you seven different positions he’s had on it, so we need to watch which ones he’s going to take now, and like I say, at least two big areas, national defense and taxes, he seems to be a lot more to my liking than to Alan Colmes’ liking.”
“That’s not true,” Alan says. “I’m glad to hear you like what he’s doing so far. Look, this is guy who’s willing, as I said, to look at things as the world has changed tremendously, even since election day. Look at what’s happened to the economy. Look what continues to happen, and he’s not stuck in an ideological mold. I think that’s very important to underscore, because, you know, we need someone who’s able to focus.”
“What do you mean it’s changed?” Dr. Phil asks Alan. “The economy is in the ditch. If we were surprised that the Big Three, that they’re running out of money, if we’re surprised that earnings are off, that banks are going under why should we be surprised? Haven’t we been paying people to pay attention to this?”
“They say they were surprised,” he says. “They didn’t see [Hurricane] Katrina. They didn’t see the breach of the levees. They didn’t see what was happening in Iraq, that there would be an insurgency. They didn’t see the economic unfolding taking place. So, you talk about the lack of experience of Barack Obama, look at what the so-called experienced people in Washington have brought over the last eight years. So, it’s not what you have on a resumé; it’s whether you’re competent and can focus on the future. That’s what’s going on here.”
Dr. Phil asks Ann, “Why don’t we know anything about Obama? Why didn’t the media ask him any questions?”
“They love him. They have a crush on him,” she says. “I mean, we did need to get answers to some of the these things!”
“You say about Obama, that he was Muslim when he needed to be and not when he needed to be, that he was black when he needed to be and not when he needed to be,” Dr. Phil says. “What do you mean?”
“Right. He is a chameleon that way, and I’ll give you another beautiful illustration that affects real people, as you say: his position on guns,” Ann says. “He has been in favor of a national ban on concealed carry weapons, he has been in favor of the District of Columbia law that bans citizens from having guns, and then when the Supreme Court overturned that ban, he said he agreed with the Supreme Court decision. He said Americans, out of bitterness, cling to God and guns, but he agrees with the Supreme Court decision?”
I love it; she’s a real soldier. And she understands the media inside and out.
Give them no quarter, make no apology because they are the eternal enemy.
She gets me. Instinctively, many know she is exactly right.
