The President and First Lady took time out of their busy schedules on Wednesday to sit down for a taping with "American Idol" as part of the hit show's fundraising event set to air next week.

"Idol Gives Back" is a two-hour charity performance that has already raised more than $140 million in contributions for global organizations.

Thanks. I’ll be sure to avoid it. Is there anywhere this pimp doesn’t show up?

This is good news!

CLEARLY, If the president of the United States has enough spare time to appear on a meaningless, insipid, “reality” tv show, it means the overwhelming majority of the most critical, dangerous and important national and international issues our nation faced have been successfully resolved to the benefit of the United States...

...doesn’t it?

;-)

WTF?

but yet can’t get in the National Security Strategy document in on time.

Criminal malfeasance

This is exactly where he belongs . . . right there with the Junior High Schoolers.

[shibumi]

Obviously they thought the show was "America Idle."

Good things come in twos on AI — Kelly and Carrie, or to ask Mrs C-4, Clay and more Clay. The Empty Suit and Michelle don’t qualify, though.

[tatsinfla]

they just won’t miss a camera chance will they....

[historyrepeatz]

Watch the ratings fall for that particular night.

OMGoodness...from the headline at first I thought Barack and Michelle were gonna sing or dance or something! Wouldn't put it past this couple who,while in the W.H., seem to be willing to do anything that is tasteless and tacky. You know...giving it that “common touch.” Common, all right, more like skid row meets nouveau riche

It would be nice if Zero spent a season on Survivor since the country would be better off with an empty seat than Zero.

[Spok]

You’d think with 27 personal assistants, she could find at least one stand-in, her having such a busy schedule and all. BTW-does it ever occur to her that fat kids need self-esteem, too?

[Riodacat]

Hey dim bulbs, I think that other POTUS's have done this before, so chill the f@#k out.
George Bush does American Idol

it means the overwhelming majority of the most critical, dangerous and important national and international issues our nation faced have been successfully resolved to the benefit of the United States...

Well, The One did eliminate radical islamic terrorists with merely a stroke of a pen.

Maybe it will be sponsored by some boob belt maker in Kenya.

[dforest]

I guess AI wants to be canceled. No big loss.

[thulldud]

She could do a couple of them.

[AutumnFire]

Good Lord.

George and Laura appeared on “Idol Gives Back” every year too. This is just the standard, ‘please give to this worthy cause’ plea. I’ll change channels for the couple of minutes his face disgraces my screen.

[commish]

Exactly. People are acting like this is some horrible development. it is a charity episode that President Bush and Laura appeared on each of the last 2 seasons, so Obambi and Shamuchelle appearing is no big deal.
