Time spent on late night television shows is time not spent screwing up our economy or healthcare system.

AMEN

Unfortunately that is not true....he still has his "administration" working hard to do that.

chinaberry25 8 months, 1 week ago

He is getting free publicity by doing so. It also shows he is a narcissist person and loves the attention he is getting. Unfortunately most of our politicians are narcissist and only caer about attention and feathering their nests. In 10 years or less, this country will be fighting a civil war, if China has not moved in before them.

Don't be ridiculous, squawker. Any politician would jump to get free exposure on a late night talk show. Or haven't you heard there's an election going on.

It's possible he hasn't heard because Georgia is a very red state. However, if you spend a week south of the boreder you will know it for sure.

He has also heard that our embassies were attacked in the Libya and Egypt and 4 Americans were killed. I personally think that the leader of our country should have the priority of dealing with that crisis instead of flying across the country to appear on Letterman and try and get votes. If I was an part of the undecided that right there would have pushed me to vote for Romney. Instead what it did is just confirm for the thousandth time that Obama is not a leader.

All late night shows are hosted by comedians so of course they would want that clown Obumma on thier show.

Because the people want to see him.......he is the best president we have had in a long long time.......

gotanyfacts 8 months, 1 week ago

Nope. He is the worst! If you want to state evidence to support your opinion, put it out there.

change 8 months, 1 week ago

I beg the differ, he is not the worst, George W. Bush is the worst, look at all this crap he put our country through and Obama has been trying to clean up his mess his whole presidency.

gotanyfacts 8 months, 1 week ago

Nope. GW not close. Obama followed by Carter. Please be specific as to what mess you lay at GW's feet.

He started a war with Iraq, when the majority of the terroists were Saudis. He made sure his oil and corporate friends had a free hand in Iraq. Many of which, never had to bid on services there...they just flew in with a smile. He missed the ball in Afghanistan while bombing a country already weakened by years of abuse from Sadam and his demon seed. Bin Laden was free to cross, back and forth from Pakistan to Afghanistan, throughout his presidency.

Suppose that war would not have started if Saddam would have let those inspectors in, but he had to be resistant.

lynn227... So, you have identified the war in Iraq as one of the messes. What would we be facing had we continued pursuing diplomatic avenues? Hint, look at Iran. As tough as Iraq was, great progress was made. You don’t hear much about it in the media, but things are deteriorating quickly. Thanks, Obama. By the way, invading Iraq was not a response to the attack on 9/11. I’m not sure what reasoning you are using there. If you are suggesting that Saudi Arabia was a more logical target, I can only respond that where the majority of 9/11 terrorists resided would be more logical… but Florida probably would not have been very happy about that! Your other comments sound more like demagoguery developed over at MSNBC. Chew on this, according to the Center for Public Integrity no-bid military spending was almost three times as much in 2011 as in 2003. So who are Obama’s buddies?

alleebrin 8 months, 1 week ago

Geez! If he's the BEST, wouldn't want to encounter the WORST! How can anyone with a sense of what's right for this country think Obummer is the best? Tell us this ten years from now when you are not living among the upperclass!! Remember, there won't be any middle class...

I love it when the coach, bubbavet, and bubbasmithredneck get on here a say ridiculous things to get everyone going. The only person who would say such a foolish thing would be on the 7th floor with no access to a computer. So I don't buy that these guys are serious and probably not old enough to vote. Now finish getting dressed and go catch your bus to school.

Shinedownfan 8 months, 1 week ago

That might explain what happened to da corch. Hmmmmm...

mr_nobody 8 months, 1 week ago

Agreed. The best trolls are the ones that aren't obvious.

bubbavet 8 months, 1 week ago

Don't confuse me with that idiot ru reel

Campaigning Is his job. His handlers are the ones fundamentally transforming the country. If he wins a second term it will be highlighted by nationwide installation of Margaret Sanger cost reduction clinics, get your free stuff tunnels of doom, etc.
