For a president under siege, maybe this could help.
In an episode of “Mythbusters” on the Discovery Channel to be shown on Dec. 8, President Obama will help determine whether the Greek scientist Archimedes really set fire to an invading Roman fleet using only mirrors and the reflected rays of the sun.
Legend has it that during the Siege of Syracuse, circa 214 B.C., Archimedes destroyed the enemy ships with fire, the result of a “heat ray” involving a series of mirrors set up on the coast. But the question has long remained: Did it really happen that way?
“Mythbusters” has already tried to test this myth. In 2006, with the help of some students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the show declared the myth “busted” because it took far too long for any reflected light to ignite a fire on a distant ship.
But apparently, Mr. Obama wants them to try again.
“Did Greek scientist and polymath Archimedes set fire to an invading Roman fleet using only mirrors and the reflected rays of the sun?” a press release for the show asks. “Will Adam and Jamie be able to pull this off, or will they have to report back to the president that they failed?”

The Three Ring Circus continues...
They have already done that twice...
Appearing as himself, or playing the part of “Buster”?
I thought maybe they were trying to bust the myth that he’s actually an American.
Maybe Adam and Jamie can solve the myth of the long form!
I thought they were going to investigate Obama’s birthplace...
It’s their first autobiography.
maybe they can figure out the myth of his birth certificate!
Plausible.
Maybe he’s trying to disspell the myth that he’s not an American. Or, that he’s really the President. We can only wish that we’re all in some bad dream.
Is this going to involve golfing?
No he will play the Myth
Lots of myths Barry is peddling that need to be busted....
Is this for real? The president on the Discovery Channel?
LOL, all of you, for the jokes about his citizenship/birthplace. Freepers are quick! :)
Barry is a legend in his own mind !
Wait a minute...
I saw them attempt to prove this death ray thingy and it worked, sort of,
If Barry shows up, I will never watch their show or syndications.
I don’t think they understand where their audience is, politically, these days.
But, there it is.
If he plays the role of Buster then this show will be my favorite..... ever.
Lamo....
