Obama's TV Habits: 'Modern Family,' 'Homeland,' 'Boardwalk Empire'
Yahoo! News ^ | December 15, 2011 | Tim Molloy

Posted on 12/15/2011 11:05:01 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

One of Barack Obama's favorite shows is about a secret Muslim who runs for office with a possible eye toward harming America from within -- which is exactly what the president's more paranoid critics accuse him of being.

Obama has explained, again and again, that he isn't a Muslim and was born in the U.S. He even produced his birth certificate, partly to swat down insinuations that he's a sort of Manchurian candidate with plans to undermine the U.S. -- after establishing his cover, of course, by ordering the death of Osama bin Laden. (Never mind the idiocy of assuming anyone who's a Muslim must be out to destroy America.)

Also on the executive watchlist: ABC's "Modern Family," which he watches with daughters Sasha and Malia. (Social conservatives may note that it features two happy and well-adjusted gay parents.) "For the girls and me, 'Modern Family,' that's our favorite show," Obama tells the magazine.

First Lady Michelle Obama says the president has to watch "Homeland" and another somber show, HBO's "Boardwalk Empire," on his own. "We don't watch TV with him," she says in the joint interview.

Sanford and Son reruns are too much like real life for him.

How can the (supposed) President of the US have time to watch that much TV, while a lowly housewife like me has too many important things that come first?

Golfing, TV watching... what do we pay this guy to do anyway?

Seriously, I couldn’t understand why Ted Lieu wrote such a flagrant threat of legislative action against a private company, unless he was put up to it by someone. Ted’s a smart guy. Who would put him up to this?

Who consistently supports Muslims in the US? And arrogant enough to threaten the civil rights of citizens?

Modern Family is sort of like everything that is rotting away at the culture all wrapped-up in a nice, neat little 30 minute package.

It's also a favorite of the sleazy Myth Romney as well. This is yet another example of there being not a dimes worth of difference between Hussein and his fellow traveler purporting to be a Republican.

Obama has explained, again and again, that he isn't a Muslim and was born in the U.S.

And the Koran teaches the good Muslim that it is permissible to lie to the infidel.

He’s a puppet. He doesn’t run the country. He just needs to read the teleprompter when his orders come in.

Agreed. Muslims have been killing each other off for the top dog spot forever. Nothing new.

I watched that show once and was disgusted.

First, I didn't think it was funny - the humor was stale and hackneyed.

And, as the article mentions, it glorifies the gay lifestyle, featuring a swishy gay couple who is raising an adopted Chinese girl. No thanks.

I bought a bootleg DVD set of "Boardwalk Empire" overseas earlier this year and did enjoy that (hey, our entertainment options are somewhat limited over there....LOL). I can see why Obambam would like it, since it has that Chicago thug aspect.
