Barack Obama's dumb 'Daily Show' Jon Stewart appearance and the President's diminishing brand
New York Daily News ^

Posted on 10/27/2010 9:52:00 AM PDT by LottieDah

President Barack Obama should make the most of his "Daily Show" appearance on Wednesday night - charming the pants off Jon Stewart and the crowd, as he did when he showed up there two years ago. It's a terrific show, Stewart is a great interviewer and Obama makes good television.

Then, the President should cancel all future trivial media appearances. While they may have kept him personally popular, in broad terms they've degraded the Obama brand.

Obama's handlers were supposed to be smarter than this. They were supposed to use his celebrity strategically to advance his agenda. Instead, they've been indiscriminate, carpet-bombing Americans with the man they elected rather than launching communications smart weapons.

Why did you post this story?? The big point of it was that Obama is goiing to ruin the “mad-as-hell moderates” image by making this look like what we know it is...a Huffington Post driven left wing fest right before Nov. 2..

Diminish the brand? The guy already has an unearned Nobel Peace Prize.

What else is there left to attain?

Write his memoirs? Oh wait, he did that before he’d accomplished anything.

Make no mistake, being on the Daly Show is just as trivial as OWeBama going on the Morning Yak Show, MTV and The Oprah.

FAILED ACTOR Jon Stewart is probably getting his questions delivered to him right about now.

Like all the crummy economic news that is reported again & again as "unexpected". Who are these idiots?!

That article is exactly what you can expect anytime you pick up or click on a Daily News article.

Insipid, simple and unenlightening.

It's written for people with fifth-grade reading skills.

I can’t wait for his upcoming appearance on The Gong Show. Maybe he’ll reprise the roles of Gene Gene the Dancing Machine or put a bag on his head and be The Unknown Comic. This jackass pres_ent show real class.

Peter Pan Obama might want to consider that children eventually grow up, become business owner adults and no longer believe in the Never-Never land of socialism.

“Hello. I’m Barack Obama...AGAIN!”

Mr. President, my family is bigger than Mr. Stewart’s audience.

More proof that Mr. Obama nor his staff can count.

Obama has irrevocably damaged the presidency both here and abroad. Future presidents will have a much less bully “bully pulpit” to preach from.

He was going to be on “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader. But Joy Bayhart beat him out.

Myth Busters could do an entire season on him.

Well, this is a sum up of him, a celebrity with a brand and image to protect, not a nation. I bet he’s governor of California or President of Haiti (king owuld be more interesting) in no time after his being tossed out after 2012.

I think Stewart is more Leftist and pompous than funny.

Incidentally, those marches of Stewart and Colbert are endorsed by terrorist Bill Ayers and his violently manical wife, Bernadine Dhorn.

Obama and his ilk look at ordinary people as ‘noble savages’ and themselves as the benevolent dictators.
