Today President Obama sat down with the cackling hens of The View… Really? REALLY!? God dammit…
Why? WHY THE FUCK!? Obamas approval ratings are in the crapper, and he decided to go on The View. If you could see me in person, Im slamming my face into the wall next to me… repeatedly. This is the same show where one of the co-hosts didn’t know the world was round. (im not joking)
Obama and his wife did appear on the show when he was campaigning for president in 2008, which I cant fault him for because you need to appeal to all people to get votes, even women dumber than an inanimate object. I mean, Mrs. Obama even admitted she didn’t wear panty hose on the show, which is HEAVY STUFF. I just smashed my head into the wall again by the way. I understand that the president of the United States needs to reach more people by going where they are… TV. Yet why in gods name on the view? Why? The dignity of the White House is disappearing faster than a reality TV show contestant and its sad to watch.
This is the first time a sitting president has gone on a daytime TV show according to ABC. So hey, why not go on this soft-news, ‘women gossiping about inane things’ show. PERFECT! Lets talk about the newest reality show, the newest purses from coach, shoes, oh yea… and the well being of the citizens of the United States. Jesus Christ I feel sick to my stomach. Our commander and chief of all militaries is going on the biggest lump of shit in a tv talk show, to talk about god knows which pop culture topic. We all get to watch one of the most powerful men in the world trade shots with the likes of Elizabeth Hasselbeck, whos claim to fame is eating worms on a reality TV show.
The media landscape and the way people digest news and politics has changed, I wont be ignorant to that. With Twitter, facebook, google, wikipedia and others it’s a different world than it was 10 years ago. For Christ sakes, a top commander of a war in Afghanistan was removed from his post because of an article in Rolling Stone.. over 92,000 classified military reports were leaked online, and Tiger Woods affairs trumped the passage of multiple senate bills. Things have changed, but not to the point of desecrating the office of the president enough to go on The View.
The Press secretary Robert Gibbs actually said this was “another opportunity for the president to talk to people where they are.” So they openly admit where people are is watching a tv show in the midday on a weekday.. Smart, great logic Gibbs. Apparently going on The View, according to Gibbs, is a great way to communicate with all the men and women of the US. Really? All the men? Last time I checked ALL men weren’t retarded and/or gay.
This is a show where it will most likely concentrate on Obama’s sex appeal and appearance but will anyone care past moronic View watchers? Likely not. In the time it takes to tape the show and then air it, a conservative dipshit like Sarah Palin or Bill O Reilly will have blogged or tweeted, and Fox News will have aired a days worth of shit ripping a “liberal” white house. All the while we are still in a pointless war, the economy is still unstable, and the Gulf of Mexico is 90% spilled oil and 10% ocean water. You want to appeal to people? You want to reach people Obama? Choose a different way than a bunch of women blabbering about your exercise routine in the White House… Hell, you obviously want to appeal to women.. so go on Oprah, at least I can respect Oprah.
You want to know what this will do? It will get multiple internet clips of the shows conservative, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, attacking the president and furthering her career while Obama looks dumber. Sparring with Elizabeth Hasselbeck and being hit on by a few other very old, and very ugly women is not my idea of progress Mr Prez. Get back in the oval office, do some god damn work and quit trying to appeal to daytime tv show watchers.
