Crisis, schmisis: President Obama takes time out to appear on another TV show

There are plenty of TV roles awaiting the President and he's likely to accept each and every one of them.

Barack Obama is on TV more than Jay Leno. And he’s funnier than…well…he’s really not all that funny.

Here’s how Wilshire & Washington describes it:

“The highlight of Stephen Colbert’s first night of shows from Iraq was the surprise taped appearance of President Obama, who ordered Commanding General Ray Odierno to cut the faux news host’s hair.”

“Last week, Obama appeared in a taped segment on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” in which the president deadpanned that the newly installed host would not qualify for a bailout if he failed.”

How can all these TV appearances be explained?

Could it be mere coincidence that the brother of Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is Ari Emanuel, the most powerful agent in Hollywood? He was the inspiration for the profane Ari Gold character on HBO’s Entourage. This guy’s Rolodex is immense and he has the power to place any client on any TV show or film merely by making a phone call.

Coming up next season: On NBC, President Obama plays Urkel’s long lost brother on a remake of Family Matters. On ABC, President Obama takes on the role made famous by Mr. T on a remake of the A-Team. It will be called “The USA-Team.” On CBS, President Obama will take over the foundering Evening News from no-longer perky Katie Couric. And on Fox, President Obama will become the fifth judge on American Idol. The format will change so that his vote is the only one that counts.

  • What are you going to do when the GOP can not get there head out of the dark place and stop stop there BS. The GOP answer to everything is to say NO and not help anyone but the GOP. When I hear The republicans say that carbon is the same as carbon dioxide and they have a plan which is blank papers, I see no way they can expect the people to do anything but run the other way. Do not talk about terrorism when Bush did nothing to stop them. In fact it is now that they are running to other countries to get away from the US. They see that they can no longer stay in he hills because the US has a new way to get at them. I know nothing about you but I hope that you have served in the army or someother branch, because then you would see what the death of a friend does to you. Bush sent men and women that only were trained to serve as back up to the army. They never thought that they were to be called do active duty to go over sea. When we cut the number of standing troops we cut the US's. It is like being cop, you have to be a cop, trained as a cop, live everyday as a cop to be a cop. You just can put on a star and gun to be a cop. You need to clean the GOP to get back in. I vote for the eprson NOT the party line.

  • In 2010 he will take on the role of Castaway Robinson Crusoe when his ship of state falls apart on the sharp reef of fiscal disaster and deposits him in the jungle of global Islamic terrorism. He is rescued when Republicans take back congress and he is safely caged where he can make nice speeches and smile for the people, but not do any real harm to himself or others.

    IN 2012 he will take on the new role of ex president--vying with Jimmy (aka Yasser the Peanut) Carter for worst president in US history. He will remake his tattered image by returing to south Chicago and to organize a multicultural outreach ministry at Reverend Wright's church.
