This is eerily reminiscent of the Doonesbury strip which had a beleaguered President Nixon (funny how I think of him as more honorable than Teh One), on the recommendation of his advisors, to give a speech in "Fritters, Alabama" ("98% of the town on federal contracts; it's perfect!") to break the back of his credibility gap.

And just think. This is in Teh One's first two years, and without any overt scandal or crisis.

Cheers!

Simple. Because the gullible idiots no longer come looking for him.

Which of course, would be sexist.

I bet he and Michelle will pull some stunt on his birthday to follow up with this idiot demographic. She’ll be at that five star resort in Spain. Barack will be all alone in Chicago or where ever he is partying. Michelle and the kid will do a video or maybe even fly back to surprise him.

2. It's an inevitable step — why did it take so long? Almost 20 years after populist genius Bill Clinton's seminal saxophone moment on The Arsenio Hall Show, says Jason Cochran in WalletPop, Obama's stop by "The View" shows that our politicians are finally seeing "value in communicating with us where we actually live, in between the ads for groceries and diapers." The real question is: Why haven't other presidents tapped this demographic?

Because it cheapens the office. Even Clinton drew a line at some point.

This appearance makes him look desperate in my “view”. Go for it zero.

Bingo, he needs an ego boost and those old yentas will be drooling all over the Marxist bastard. I’d spit in his face if I met him.
Why he’s not arrested for treason in beyond my imagination.
He’s going on the View because he was elected by the massive hordes of brainless , uneducated , morons who are Americans.
He knows that’s JUST who will be watching that show. He’ll come armed with all his bullshit and excuses and once again try to charm the dumb American serfs into more Marxism.

Who needs it?

By the time you get back from work, or from church on Sunday (including a coffee hour or lunch at church after Divine Liturgy), you don’t have time for all the utter fufarar they dish out on “The View” or on those obama-worshipping Sunday “news” shows.

And with the spiritual blessings that our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ gives me in the Divine Liturgy and Holy Communion, I don’t need to spoil them by listening to or viewing a bunch of Satan-infuenced garbage. I’m sure that our priest would heartily agree.

I keep informed via the Internet. It works better anyway!!!!

He mocks America, “You’all know I failed to qualify and I know that, I won, and thats it”

This is an ego that has to continuously flaunt his illegally gained position of power and dominance.

I remember growing up as a child and there was always one kid that loved to taint the others that his dad was bigger, their house was bigger, he was smarter etc.

Looking back to the past many years ago all I have to say is this, now that I am in my 50’s, I’m sorry I kicked your stupid smug little a$$ all over the street (I forget their names)and I hoped you changed your “view” in life.

Glenn Beck pointed this out on his show yesterday. He is looking to appeal to the oppressed as well the common man. In doing so he strengthens his regime, leading us to socialism.

Just for a little perspective. I’m sure like everything else this is conceived of by a mid-level staffer and then gets pushed up through the ranks who can check either yeah or nay. I.E. this may say more about the 20 something junior staffers working for 0bamao than anything else.

By going on the View today, Obama did two things.

1) Boy scouts parents are probably Conservative. Obama hates Conservatives and was worried that the Leftwing would get on him for going to an event where the group supports traditional American values. Therefore Obama was playing to the base by snubbing the Boy Scouts.

2) This was a gift to the Networks. Don’t be suprised to see him on Letterman, Leno, Today, etc. This will bring in advertising revenue.

Obama could have gone on the View anytime he liked. He chose today.
