Call it the ultimate first world problem.
President Obama responding Wednesday to alleged misconduct at Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals has infuriated fans of TV game show "The Price Is Right" and talk show "The View."
Obama's speech --- addressing claims that VA hospitals rigged records to make it seem as if wait times were shorter than they actually were --- interrupted the 11 a.m. television hour via breaking news interruption. These interruptions are typically decided on by networks, but angry Twitter posts from fans were aimed at the President nonetheless.
"If Obama takes up one more minute of my Price is Right, I'm going to throw the remote at my tv," tweeted one fan.

Noone wants to see that joker who has destroyed our economy
I have a friend that uses “The Horns of Defeat” for his cellphone’s ringtone for whenever his wife calls.
No kidding...what the hell has happened to our people?
It’s almost as if we’ve totally forgotten who we were.
The average American is a fat beached whale who is a TV/Phone addict and a gluttonous lazy fool.
Average American. Around here they are whaling. But around here it seems that on leaving their house they do this sort of ‘now, how can I make my appearance worse than this?’
And that’s at Mass. On Sunday
I have to see men in baggy shorts and yes I have to have full sight of their toes
The price is right?
I can understand that. It takes cutting edge intellect and real skill to maneuver that game....makes chess seem like tic-tac-toe. But, the View. That’s for dummies. /sarc
Sea faring types are they? Aargh!
Foolish, foolish Barry. He should have gone on The View to talk about the problem rather than interupt it. Walters, Goldberg and the other pannelists would have asked a couple stupid, softball questions. He would have given a stupid, banal answer and the brainless hausfraus who watch it would have thought he was doing a great job dealing with it.
Fpr those of us on the West Coast, we missed most of the ‘after finale’ interviews with the winners of Dancing With The Stars.
I was so delighted that Maks won- & I missed most of that interview to get to listen to Obama flap his gums endlessly.

Can you remember when CBS interrupted “As The World Turns” to report that President Kennedy had been shot? ATWT was live back then, and when they cut back to the show, the live actors had no idea what to do, they were all upset about the President.
I don’t remember that. Stupid of the network to expect the show to go on after that announcement.
