The President Appears on The View

I maintain that the show has lost significantly since Meredith Viera left, but this is entertaining.

Do they show Elisabeth trying to wash the black off her following the show?

 

Hopefully, she won't try to wash off the ignorant. There wouldn't be much of her left.

 

Yet, the Boy Scouts are celebrating their 100th anniversary in Washington, and the Prez can't be bothered to mingle a bit with them.

 

I watch a lot of awful television -- admitted. But I swear, you'd have to pay me a gianourmous sum of currency to watch more than one minute of that show. I don't know how people do it for free. It's really amazing.

 

Just as the President of the United States, regardless of party or philosophy, should never spend 10 seconds fucking around with sports teams, he shouldn't waste 10 seconds on this collection of bubble-brained bimbos with a collective IQ of 73.

And the President should heatedly deny knowing anything whatsover about Lindsay Crack-Slut Lohan or Snooki the Greasy Pig, even of their existence. I don't want my president devoting one milliwatt of brain power to that fucking bullshit.

 

How many jamborees did Saint Ronnie visit?

 

I want a job at the White House Office of making the President Look Bad.

 

Yes. He should've spent time with a bunch of kids who probably didn't care who he was or what he said as opposed to spending time on an hour-long show fielding questions about about topics such as ...

--Chrysler and General Motors
--Military escalation in Afghanistan
--Wall Street
--Unemployment
--Shirley Sherrod

... And let's face it, had he passed on "The View" for the Boy Scouts, he would've blasted on FOX for spending time with kids and not addressing the most pressing issues of the day and ducking questions from Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

I wonder if FOX ever raked Bush over the coals for going on "Dr. Phil" and talking about whether to spank children. Probably not.

"Every president is typically invited, though not all are able to attend. Obama's three predecessors each made it to one Jamboree in person. President George W. Bush spoke in 2005, President Bill Clinton in 1997 and President George H.W. Bush in 1989."

 

So if he makes it next year, then he'll get an effusive apology, right?

Of course, if he goes in 2012, he'll be accused of politicizing the event. Oh noes!

(What am I saying? He'd have been accused of politicizing it if he'd gone this year!)

 

He became the 11th US President to grab Barbara Walters' ass.
