First A Sub

Then A View

He has half a sub at the Tastee Sub Shop in Edison New Jersey, when he used to eat a whole one, but he’s now approaching 49, associates with the middle class during the day, while spending the night with the swells at a $30,000 a-plate fund raising dinner in New York.

Yes, President Obama is still speaking from both sides of the teleprompter, pandering to the poor while curring favor of the wealthy for the Yankee dollar – about $3 million to be specific.

In between all of this he appeared in a taping with the hens of ‘The View’.  Oh, don’t get upset with me, I like the View, after all how many guys watch it?  But you have to admit when they start to all talk over each other at once, it does sound a lot like the clucking in a hen house.

According to early reports Obama reflected on 20 months of crises that have plagued his administration.  Hmm, I wonder who he inherited it from?  Could it be . . .  no I won’t say it if he didn’t.

He said the challenges included “a non-stop effort to restart the economy, we have also had the oil spill, we have also had two wars (I didn’t know they were over) we have also had a pandemic – H1N1 that we had to manage,” Obama said.  In a brief excerpt shown on ABC News, Obama reflected on a difficult last 20 months joking, “where do I begin.”

He nominated his weekend vacation in Maine this month as one of his recent highlights – that is while he suggests everyone else go to vacation spots on the Gulf where the oil spill is coming ashore.

It is questionable if his appearance on The View will boost his ratings but he will significantly contribute to the coffers of the Democratic Party.

Some have criticized the president, yours truly included, for being the first to appear on a day-time talk show, suggesting it was beneath the dignity of the office.

However, perhaps I rushed to judgment, a trait in vogue these days.  Obama apparently has something  in common with President Richard Nixon who once appeared on ‘Laugh In’ popping his head into an open faced placard saying ‘Sock It To Me.’

Well, I’ll be watching ‘The View’ tomorrow 11 AM, EST on ABC, just in case the pro Obama network was trying to slip something by me today with their promotional releases.
