President Obama to Appear on 'The View' (Thursday)
The Baltimore Sun ^ | Monday, July 26, 2010 | David Zurawik

Posted on 07/26/2010 6:10:15 AM PDT by kristinn

President Obama, who just a few weeks ago said he doesn't have time for TV "theater," will appear on ABC's "The View" Thursday. The show claims it is the first time a sitting president has done daytime TV.

It follows a pattern of this presidency I've described often here as: When the going gets rough, the president goes on TV -- often in entertainment venues that guarantee he wil;l be celebrated and can control his message. This visit looks like a direct response bto the criticism he has received for his administration firing USDA worker Shirley Sherrod last week.

Just the image of this invokes a Barf Alert!

But, in the contemplation of the show, I wonder how the format will accommodate his teleprompters. Seems like it will be awfully hard for the witty (/s) impromptu banter the girls are so well-known for, with PO having teleprompters. I’m sure the pre-approved questions have already been handed to them.

Joy Behar: Mr. President, should I call you that, or should I call you “Dear Leader?” Anyway, may I scoot a little closer. There now. My first question to you. When Bush destroyed the economy and the world as we know it with his illegal war and eight years of failed economic policies, how did you ever think you’d be able to take on such dismal failures and save us from the brink of disaster in such a masculine and classy way, with all the vacations and golf outings. You are so cool and neat-o, the way you’ve saved us all from Bush’s devastation. How did you feel about that?

Obama: (Reading from Teleprompter) That’s a great question, Joy. You’re right, Bush did leave me with a mess, what with his eight years of failed economic policies and illegal war. I think I’ve handled it the best I could considering what Bush left me with. I mean, I’m pretty brilliant, and amazing, and I was born on Krypton (girls giggle), but I think I have saved you and all your viewers out there from the brink of the disaster that Bush brought you to. I know you ladies and all your viewers out there are feeling much better because someone like me is in the White House, because Bush was just so awful. (Smile at camera)

Joy: (swoons, passes out, wets herself)

Whoopi: We better cut to a commercial. When we come back, I’ll be discussing race relations with PO. We are going to put Elizabeth in the Box of Shame because she is a cracker and we hate her and want to kill her babies. Be sure to come right back!

This is the first lesson I learned as I was teaching myself to become fluent in Obonics: You take whatever he says and flip it 180 degrees and you get the truth.

Kind of like Willy Wonka's, "Strike that. Reverse it."

Come to think of it, Willy Wonka would make a better President than Obama. If Obama's even his real name.

Oh it will be taped, so not an actual ‘live’ event except to the screened and background-checked audience who will be applauding and cheering the Zero even if all he does is flip that stealth middle digit in a subtle ‘FU’ sign.

Garbage In, Garbage Out.

I would love however, for Elisabeth Hasselbeck to just come out and say “Mr. President? Why don’t you just release the original long form of your birth certificate so America can put this question of your eligibility to serve in the Oval Office behind them? Do you have something to hide? You’ve spent upwards of 2 million dollars when you could have just paid $12 bucks and been done with this, why would a smart guy like you blow a couple million dollars for no reason?”

I wonder if Whoopi Cushion will fantasize about having sex with Barry and Mo like she did with Nanzi Pelosi and her husband.

The Idiot in Chief is trying to offset his -19 rating.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Ain't gonna happen, Biggie O. It will take more than those fawning morons at The View to help you.

Hey, it’s cheaper then buying time for ads. If you can con those liberal dummies into giving you free face time, then do it. LOL

I don't care who you are, that's funny, right there.

How about Dirty Jobs, or Deadliest Catch?

So I guess we will be able to watch a bunch of angry women have a collective orgasm? Well except for Hassleback, who I pray will put him in his place, but I know she won’t

If they brought Megyn Kelly or Anne Coulter in as an interviewer at the last minute, that show would eclipse all other TV experiences in history.

Yeah, but who they'd more likely bring in would be Megan McCain. They'd love to see her slobber all over him. Oooh, what a ratings bonanza, they'd say!

This is the “New Transparent” leadership we have. He will not give a press conference unless there is a major crisis, and he “runs” and hides behind Gibbs. But to go on the View for what? Make some of the women have snail tracks to the seats? Please, the guy is a complete moron, and he lies with every speech. It appears he thinks he is still campaigning. North Korea wants to start a war, CIA says we are close to bombing Iran, China threatens Hillary over some small Islands, Hugo Chavez threatens to stop all oil coming to the US, and the oil spill is capped and ships are moving back in this week to start harvesting the oil. (Funny, but BP never had a plan to just cap the well and move on, it was always about harvesting the oil) and he wants to flirt with 4 women? So, on the View this week we get to see the Liar in Chief speak to the world through a gossip program

Maybe there’s something coming up that this is supposed to divert us from. The Sherrod charade having worked so nicely.
If it is reported here on FR that anything was worth viewing, there’s always youtube.

The VIEW? The neo-marxist Stalin-worshipping harpies over there won't be visible with their heads under the table the entire time.

Let the left attack their own and hopefully the GOP grows some and viciously attacks the socialist for our demise.
