Obama wants to take a prime time slot to discuss his first 100 days:
The President Obama Show will be making an appearance in the May sweeps.
Officials from the Obama administration have asked the major broadcast networks for up to an hour of primetime next Wednesday at 8, according to sources familiar with the request. Mr. Obama wants the time for a news conference outlining his first 100 days in office.
The end of those first 100 days comes on April 29, and at least one cable news channel, CNN, had already announced plans for a major Election Night-style coverage extravaganza.
By scheduling a press conference on the night, the president is positioning himself to directly participate in the debate over his early performance.
There’s no word yet on whether the broadcast networks will agree to the White House request, though one network insider said it’s all but a given they will.
What’s next? Another volume of his autobiography? Are we going to start getting a minute-by-minute update of Obama’s day? 7:59am, intel brief on terrorist threat; 8:01am, interview with GQ; 9:17am, cabinet meeting to discuss new stimulus bill; 9:19am, interview with People; 10:58am, break for photo op with Mrs O in vegetable garden; 12:07pm, lunch…
Mr. President – you haven’t done anything, yet. You’ve set in train a series of events which, you believe, will improve matters. Those of us with the sense God gave little, white mice know they will end in disaster – but bad or good, what you’ve started hasn’t actually happened. Its all in the planning and start-up phase. You’ve got nothing to talk about. Except yourself – which seems to be the point.
Get off your high horse – you really ain’t all that.
UPDATE: Washingtonian Magazine doctored the famous picture of Obama in the bathing suit. This is Stalinist stuff, boys and girls.
