Things Obama Should do this Week on Television

Seeing our President wants to be on every channel, from Jay Leno to 60 Minutes, I thought I'd put together my tv schedule for the commander and chief of television this week.

10) Guest appearance on Dancing with the Stars.

9) Guest host American Idol.

8) Fill in for Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs and clean up the mess on Howard Street.

7) Join the girls for a chat on the View.

6) Insert himself in the starting line-up for the Chicago Bulls.

5) Do a leg of the Amazing Race from Afghanistan to Alaska. There may be a road block?

4) Fill in for Donald Trump and fire Joan and Melissa Rivers on Celebrity Apprentice.

3) Stand behind the $1 suitcase on Deal or No Deal.

2) Fill in for Gordon Ramsey on Kitchen Nightmares and feature the Heartland Cafe.

1) Take over for Jack Bauer on '24' and save the world.


What tv shows do you think our Celebrity President should be on?

Having read your blogg for the past 8 months- I'm surprized to see you are now commenting on national topics- when no mention of obamas vitory in nov made it to your page I assumed you were a 100 percent local news sleuth- now this? I'm confused?

Really now? At least he's doing SOMETHING, as opposed to flying off to his ranch every weekend on MY dime, letting his VP REALLY run the country and, oh yeah, starting an illegal and unjust war so that we can get trillions of dollars in debt and thousands of people can die for no reason.

Or nothing at all thereby allowing an nprecedented financial crisis.

Did we really just spend our tax payer dollars this week for a President to pick the Final 4 on a Presidential Sealed Bracket Chart?

Or am I just imagining things?

Oh he's doing something all right! LOL
Craig - great list and laugh for the morning - I'm going to have some coffee before my brain can think of another one!

Phred said...

Craig easily forgets that the primary daily focus of our previous president was:

1) Getting in his workout and bike ride

2) Undressing (with his eyes) the more physically fit members of his male staff and male security detail

3) Deciding whether to have the kitchen staff prepare a peanut butter or grilled cheese sandwich for lunch.

Everything else was delegated, by default, to Cheney. And that's why our country and its economy is presently so fucked up.

Really feeble attempt at humor. Don't quit your day job as neighborhood activist. Loved seeing you on the news with Carol Marin.

While I think Leno is a interesting choice, I get the strategy. Cable News is too focused on equal time, which sounds like a plus but when your trying to push an agenda like health care (that makes politicians worried for their re-election chances...)you have to find a better way to drum up support then Fox News or MSNBC.

The President needs support from the masses, and the middle of the road politicians need to see support for cover.

A news flash from our bitch opps I mean aldermen joey" I care about the ward" moore.

When you look at the list isn't there a establishment that was closed for being "unclean"! It pays to pay & play with little joey!

In response to the question being asked, not the random commentary...I think Obama should show up on the Office to straighten out Dwight Shrute and Michael Scott. If he can't do that, he certainly can save the planet.

AvondaleLoganSquareCrimeBlotter said...

Whosyerkitty, I can't agree with you more. At least Obama is doing something, unlike that scumbag Bush. I know I may get trashed for saying this (yes, I'm proud to admit that I'm an Obama fan, providing that he does something about this ecomony), but I have to tell my honest opinion. I also agree with "Phred".

poeticvandalism said...

Stock markets go up, people bitch.
Wall street is held accountable, people bitch.
Bush destroys our country, no one says a thing.

I take it you fell under the last category.

Craig Gernhardt said...

The only one who played by the rules was MS21. Well done.

PS: I wouldn't wish Michael Scott as a boss to anyone.

Rogers Park Vigilance said...

As far as destroying the country, Obama will make Bush look like a piker.

Save Street End Beaches said...

My $.02: leave the tin foil hat politics to the two Tom blogs. Joe needs all your attention.

floss said...

Obama can play Michael.
Moore can be Dwight, trying so hard to kiss his butt. Sadly our Michael didn't choose our Dwight for promotion. He remains in his tiny cubicle next to the laundry mat.

Razldazlrr said...

Avondale - I think you are a little young to be calling a two-term President a "scumbag'.

Emily said...

This list greatly amuses me.
It'd be pretty easy for him to appear on 30 Rock. Just put him, Tracy Morgan, and Alec Baldwin in a room.

Madmom said...

Please. This guy has done more in two months than Shrub did in the past two years. And has communicated more with you, dear taxpayer, even before he was sworn in. Now give the guy a break and some support. He's entitled to a little R & R (unlike the 60% of his predecessor), including picking a bracket, and he sure as hell can't pull a magic wand out of his butt and "fix" everything instantaneously.

Now get serious. This is asinine.
