More Free NBC Pub For The Prez: Obama Stars In Network Promo
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

You know, Mr. President, if things don't work out in 2012, we could open a slot for you on MSNBC at 8 PM . . .

It apparently wasn't enough for NBC Universal, little more than a month before the elections, to grant Pres. Obama a half-hour across all its networks to talk about education.

There I was this morning, innocently watching Morning Joe, when suddenly an NBC promo popped up, starring—you guessed it—the prez. It would have been bad enough if this had been a government PSA. But this was a promo for an NBC Universal initiative called "The More You Know," dedicated, its website informs us, to providing "critical" health messages. [You can be sure one of the things it won't be "critical" of is . . . ObamaCare.]

When did homework become the job of parents? Am I the only one here who made it through my education (to a master’s level) without ever needing help with my homework?

Would kids be better off if they knew they had to pay attention in class so they could then do their homework themselves? That is, if it were their responsibility?

I thought things would be different under Comcast. This is total B.S. I’m cancelling my subscription to Comcast. Going satellite. I’ve had enough of this crap. Let’s hit them where it hurts.

One reason this election will be won by FASTING AND PRAYING that God will disable the enemy and help us defeat the EVIL RATS and their SATAN leader....This fight will NOT be won by the Tsunami everyone is hoping for or thinking the Rasm and the other poll numbers will bring votes. These SOB are evil and they will FOOL the people again....AND THEY ARE SUCCEEDING..did you see Drudge..enuff said!!

Go one step farther and get an antenna and Netflix.
That’s what we do.

that’s because nbc needs the viewers and they know with obama they will appeal to his base so they get more ratings.

Obama fires supporters at U. W. (Freep this poll)
Wisconsin State Journal ^ | September 29, 2010 | CLAY BARBOUR, MARY SPICUZZA and DEBORAH ZIFF

President Barack Obama served as the closing act Tuesday for a rock-n-roll, fire-up-the-troops extravaganza on the UW-Madison campus — a giant rally meant to recapture the excitement of the campaign trail and bridge the so-called “enthusiasm gap” among younger, Democratic voters.


Poll What did you think of Obama’s visit to Madison?
Awesome! Great for the UW and Madison. 4%

Clearly a rah-rah event to rally the base. 6%

Sad attempt by unpopular prez to keep Dems in power. 78%

Obama was in town? 12%


Free beer and free rock music does not make them a success... it makes them stupid... they were not there for obama and they would not open the gates to allow anyone to leave early as imam obama spoke after the concert.
