He’s baaaaack: Couric to interview Obama before Super Bowl

What could be worse than President Obama showing up on television on Super Bowl Sunday? How about President Obama being interviewed by Katie Couric right before the game.

Bingo. The Orlando Sentinel has the details down on the 50-yard line:

Super Bowl Sunday will be a busy one for CBS anchor Katie Couric, but she will be far from the game.

“I’m very excited about going to the Super Bowl,” said Couric, who will anchor the “CBS Evening News” Friday from Miami. “I wish I could stay. I have an appointment with the president. That’s a good excuse.”

Before the game, Couric will conduct a live, 12-minute interview with President Barack Obama at the White House. She also offers an interview with New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees.

Couric said on Wednesday she was still formulating her questions for Obama but had solicited queries via Twitter, Facebook and local stations.

“I want it to be a good, substantive interview, but it’s the Super Bowl audience,” Couric said. “I want it to have the appropriate tone.”

There’s no escaping this guy. Don’t even try. If you turn off your TV he’ll just show up at your doorstep at dinner time, sit in your favorite chair, help himself to your macaroni and cheese, and talk your ear off.

Funny that a guy who graduated from Harvard doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “overexposed.”

  • It's a nightmare....MAKE HIM GO AWAY!

    GET OFF MY SUPERBOWL PREGAME & ANY OTHER SPORTS EVENT PRESIDENT OBAMA! I've seen MORE than enough of you! And take your liberal cronies with you!

  • Latest lie on Gov't Spending Sleaze. $2.5 Million for 30 SECOND SuperBowl Ad on Census. Those silly Citizens concerned abt spending, BHO is really feeling your pain, as He throws more of your money dn the toilet.

  • Or pitches a baseball.

    Will he be in his MOM jeans?

    Remember he thinks he is not getting out enough to get his crap sandwiches passed. Look for at least two hours everyday in the media. Three if you are in high school

    • I take offense to this. I know a great deal of women and have seen a great deal of women who can throw a ball of any kind in great ways.

  • The guy is like the scummy used car salesman in the plaid pants bugging you on the lot when you are trying to buy a car. Won't leave you alone-and won't shut up, no matter what you say. Only, he is so untrustworthy, no one would even consider buying a car from him.

  • Jeez Louise! Can't we have a day where we are not inundated with All Obama, All the Time? He's like that carnival game, Whack a Mole...he keeps popping up!

    I say, GAME OVER! Let us have a day without his drivel and tripe!

  • Wow... Uhm. Well it seems "1984" won't be that far behind. I mean really he is on TV saying something or another practically daily or HAS someone saying something or another daily on his behalf. I cannot recall a recent President who has done this.
