This Sunday, President Obama will be interviewed on five shows -- ABC News’ “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” CNN’s “State of the Nation”, CBS’s “Face the Nation”, NBC’s “Meet the Press” and Univision’s “Al Punto with Jorge Ramos."
It's a rare feat called "the Full Ginsburg." In modern media lore, the first time someone pulled a five-show feat was 11 years ago, in 1998, when Monica Lewinsky’s attorney William Ginsburg made the rounds to defend his client. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, did a Full Ginsburg in 2007 after launching her presidential bid.
For both Ginsburg and Clinton, Fox News Sunday made the cut, and Univision didn’t. Such is not the case for President Obama; Democrats say the Fox News Sunday audience is largely entrenched in their opposition to the president, essentially unconvincible, and thus submitting to an interview might not be the best use of President Obama's time.
Polls indicate that Americans say the more they hear about the president’s proposed overhaul, the less they like it. An ABC News/Washington Poll last week showed 54 percent of Americans feel that way. White House officials say that’s because Americans are hearing false attacks on Obama’s plan, not reality -- hence the PR blitz.

White House deputy communications director Dan Pfeiffer says the idea of “overexposure” is “an anachronistic view of how people consume news in this day and age.”

And I think Fox News should thank their good luck that they won't have to endure his blathering on Sunday. That was one of the stupidest moves I've ever seen Bambi make (and he's made a boatload of them so far)
Are we going to actually get to see 0bama hit the ground and burst into flames live on TV?
Alot of good that did Monica Lewinsky ... she got fatter and had to sell cloth made hand bags on the streets of CA ...
Fox should have Sarah Palin and/or Joe Wilson on instead...
What a clown show! The guy just can’t keep his face off TV, can he?
People are sick of hearing this guy flap his jaws. They instinctively know that if someone has to talk so much, over and over again to try and sell something like this, that they are listening to a snake oil salesmen.
...and that's what Obama is.
INDEPENDENT AMERICAN MOVEMENT FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RESTORATION
Typical Obama move, shrink away from debate and preach to the choir at the sycophantic MSM whorehouses.
That lying commie bastard is so full of himself that he thinks he can sweet talk America into loving his plan.
Obama is on the boob tube so much he’s become a reality t.v. show.
Too bad the name Big Brother is already taken.
Tapper’s carving himself out a very nice career niche, isn’t he? BTT.
In other news, exhaustive government studies show eagles lay eggs.
He’s also going to be on David Letterman Monday night!
Death by President Windbag. You’d think TOTUS would have burned up from overuse by now.
Demonstrate the contradictions of his answers.
He says NOTHING better than anybody!
Barry is too egomaniacal and narcissistic to grasp the First Law of Holes:
“When you get to the bottom, STOP DIGGING!!”
SOME FOLKS THINK HE TALKS TOO MUCH!
I say put on another pot of coffee and KEEP IT UP!!!

Why does Univision call their show Al Punto with Jorge ramos and not Al Punto con Jorge Ramos. Doesn’t really make sense to have the whole show in Spanish except for the with.
Wallace needs to do that plus put a cardboard cutout in a chair.
