White House Correspondence Dinner is scripted; his script writers know about Jersey Shore. The President, when on the fly, cannot have an insta-link to his script writers. Hence the President, like me, knows nothing about that show (except what I hear on here, which is usually pretty damn bad).
This guy is such a total zero! Empty suit. Supposedly smart but never actually does anything intelligent. Delegates to Pelosi/Reid. Please neuter him in November and get rid of him in '12. Please.
Well, I knew it. Nobody has respect for the presidency (not arguing for or against the man, I mean the office itself), they obviously want to waste his time on garbage for a quick draw in the ratings. Short term gains, long term consequences... No wonder shit will always stay fucked up.
Just flip over to CNN Headline news and watch the black anchor gushing over the reporter/co-worker who talked to the woman (Bawbwa Walters) who talked to the president. It's kinda creepy, eh.
"You're like a degree away from the president, Mike!" - Richelle Carey CNN Headline News
The president of the united states doesn't sit around writing jokes about Snookie all day. He has writers. He may have asked who she was at the time, or he may not have, but despite having a weird name, Snookie is otherwise profoundly forgettable.
#15 Richelle Carey is fucking AWEsome! If she said the Martians were invading, I would put the welcome mat out I'd eat the corn out of her teleprompter I'd make her smile before she blew me
Jeez, of course he didn't know who she was to begin with. Daily Show writers wrote that script for him, he just read it. The fact that this is considered a gaffe would be funny if it wasn't annoying.
That wasn't "one of his speeches", it was a laugh-fest and a the president either had someone hired to write his jokes or had someone from his staff collaborate - of COURSE he doesn't remember what he said! Your ignorant ass probably thought that the clip was taken from the State of the Union Address.
Also, whomever referred to him as "supposedly smart" needs to head on back to the Tea Party rally with the rest of the uninformed herd.
some serious retards in here. it was well known he had comedy show writers write the jokes for that dinner. and all president's have people helping them write their speeches, if you believed otherwise sorry to let you down.
All I know is, I hope people realize once and for all that he wasn't as qualified as you thought. As long he is a one-termer and isn't re-elected in 2012 we might be able to finally fix some problems.
I love it. All the racist idiots have stolen a phrase that was the mantra of the Democrats when Bush took office in 2001 with less votes than his competitor.
Sorry, dumbass. Doesn't apply here. He won. He will beat anyone the Republicans put against him in 2012. Count on it.
Just shows that his speeches are 100% teleprompter material. Ask him even the smallest question and he wimps out, even if it's something about MEL GIBSON. They were throwing him bones there, giving him easy stuff to response to and he still botched it.
Also, zero wit. He was as funny as a colonoscopy.
Also, what kind of president goes on THE SPEW? It's a stupid shrill show for hens who haven't got anything better to do with their time, and stars two of the dumbest people in primetime. No dignity at all for the office. You can't imagine any of the greats like Teddy Roosevelt going on the Spew.
Also, I AM amazed that Obama didn't know who snooki was. I mean he invites other reality-show whores to the White House like Kartrashian, so why not an orange hobbit?
#7: "White House Correspondence Dinner". Is that a dinner where you attend by mail? Do only "Correspondents" get to participate by correspondence? #10: YOU ARE A GOD #24: Do you get this angry at your KKK meetings, too?
There's really nothing pressing for the President to be doing but masterfully answering pop-culture questions, after all, we only have record unemployment, a war, an oil clean-up, a poor economy, to name a few.
What a douchebag Obama is. The first douche president. No class at all. You may have hated GWBush, but the man had class and didn't demean the office like low-class POS Obama. Can't wait 'til Nov when he's humiliated when the Dems lose 100 seats.
Obama is PATHETIC. He is totally inappropriate beung a guest on a Yenta gossip show for a bunch of soccer-moms. He is supposed to be running the country - especially during a war.. and people are out of work and this clown still acts like he is campaigning. The guy is clueless and a socialist. All you do-gooders who voted him into office are in for a rude awakening. You were seduced by a good talker who is unqualified for the job of presidency.
The thing that I hate most of all is that if you don't like Obama, your a Racist. That's bullsh*t. I don't care that be's black, or half black or whatever... He's not qualified to be President Period. There are frauds in all races, not just Black. He's more of a beauty pageant winner, a pretty face. Other than his hip bravado and romantic ideals of being a champion of "Change" and "Hope" he's just a regular person. A regular, unqualified and under-acheiving Person. He hasn't done anything significant or important. He's a failure and that's not because he's a man of color. He's just a failure, plain and simple.
Anybody else feel like this REALLY is the Manchurian Candidate??? The man has NO substance what-so-ever and he is obviously controlled by a bunch of far-left nutcases!!!
OMG he lied about his reality TV show knowledge! Let's impeach him! Also, he wasn't born in America and he's Muslim!!! Where is his birth certificate?!?!
I knew what the Jersey Shore was last summer when people were bitching about it re-enforcing negative Italian-American stereotypes, but I had no idea what Snookie was until Todd started updating us on her fug self every damn week.
"At least Dubya wasn't tethered to a friggin' teleprompter." HAHAHA! No he couldn't find a fucking and learn how to use a friggin' dictionary if his life depended on it either.
a) The president needs to not be on The View b) I knew what Jersey Shore was for a long time before I knew what a Snooky was. Hell, I only know what she is now because of this site. c) Dear number 60 ... who ever said they forgot?
Why is it that if you don't like Obama you are automatically a racist? OK, those of you who don't like Jersey shore HATE ITALIANS! Makes the same sense. What I can't figure out is the same people who disliked Palin and said she was a soccer mom therefore not fit to be VP think it's OK for Obama to go on a TV show pandering to soccer Moms. Huh?
umm ... okay, I don't want the President on The View, but doing a lame TV show is a little bit different than being president of the US. Like, when Obama goes home, he's still the president, he just did the View for a day. When Palin goes home, she's still a graduated soccer mom with an expensive wardrobe. Big difference.
I love how the Republican posters on here hate Obama for being a "fraud", but when Bush was pursuing and unjustified war for contrived reasons, ya'll were wrapped in the American flag, singing the national anthem and burning French fries. It's easy to see wrongdoing when it's the OTHER guy, but when it's YOUR guy, you become complacent fucktards. This is the biggest problem with our country. Just because a politician carries your label doesn't mean he or she is A GOOD PERSON who MAKES GOOD DECISIONS. Fuck you all. Good day.
It's been said a few times already but if you think Obama knew WTF he was talking about when he read that Jersey Shore joke then you are stupid. He doesn't write the stuff he reads, he just reads it.
Obama is irrelevant. All US presidents are puppets controlled by bankers and the global elites. Obama just does what he's told. If you think Palin would do any better just because she's "down to earth" then you are a retard.
The Repubes (no that isn't a typo asswipe) had their chance to put up a decent candidate but they had to make poor OLD McCain feel good about himself, so they let him have it. They got to ruin the country for 8 years, now it's the dem's turn.
McCain showed what poor Judgment he had by picking Palin and lived to regret it. Republitards are a loud minority, I bet you the democrats will sweep in November and Obama will win in '12. Regular, SANE Americans are sick of the lunatic fringe right wing dividing this country with their hate.
#32 is absolutely right. For important speeches, like the SOTU, the President will write or co-write his speech. But think about it: the President gives so MANY speeches -- do you think he has time to write all of them? Of course not! Hence to reference to a lame "reality show" that the President has never watched and doesn't know anything about. It was put in there by the speech writer.
By the way, for all you FIX News-watching Tea Partiers, here's a list of accomplishments of the President and the Democratic Congress in the first 18 months. Keep in mind that they did all this IN SPITE of the "Party of NO" Republicans efforts to block them.
1. The most historic financial reform since The Great Depression, which does something unheard of: it protects CONSUMERS! 2. Health Care Reform: something that Congress has been working on since the 1920's or earlier. 3. Economic Stimulus Pkg, including the largest middle-class tax cut in history, and also historic investments in infrastructure and alternative energy 4. Credit Card Reform 5. Student Loan Reform 6. Civil Rights Legislation (Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, for example) 7 Hate Crimes Act 8. Historic Nuclear Agreements
A pretty impressive list considering that the President hasn't even reached the halfway point of his first term.
You ever stop to think that none of these things have passed until now...BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GOOD IDEAS IN THE FIRST PLACE! There's a reason health care reform has failed time and time again and needed to be "deemed to pass." Because it's a horrible idea and our hopitals will now be run like the DMV! Way to go morons!
Oh yeah right. We shouldn't do anything about our health care system because it works so perfectly.
The U.S. spends more per capita on health care than any other industrialized nation, yet we rank low in comparison to these same nations in terms of average health and life expectancy.
Odumbass is finishing what the Republicans started... running the country right down the shitter. Only thing is, Odumbass is doing it on purpose, the socialist asswipe.
What credit card and student loan reform have you seen? Nothing meaningful. Private student loans are still allowed to ass rape you. You still can't discharge student loans in bankruptcy. Credit cards are still allowed to charge usary rates of up to 33%. Obama's "reforms" haven't gone far enough as far as I am concerned.
So he lied. Big surprise. He probably thought it wouldn't be dignified to admit he had ever watched that shitfest,w without noticing that HELLO HE'S ON ANOTHER SHITFEST.

1. The most historic financial reform since The Great Depression, which does something unheard of: it protects CONSUMERS!
2. Health Care Reform: something that Congress has been working on since the 1920's or earlier.
3. Economic Stimulus Pkg, including the largest middle-class tax cut in history, and also historic investments in infrastructure and alternative energy
4. Credit Card Reform
5. Student Loan Reform
6. Civil Rights Legislation (Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, for example)
7 Hate Crimes Act
8. Historic Nuclear Agreements
A pretty impressive list considering that the President hasn't even reached the halfway point of his first term.

You ever stop to think that none of these things have passed until now...BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GOOD IDEAS IN THE FIRST PLACE! There's a reason health care reform has failed time and time again and needed to be "deemed to pass." Because it's a horrible idea and our hopitals will now be run like the DMV! Way to go morons!

Oh yeah right. We shouldn't do anything about our health care system because it works so perfectly.
The U.S. spends more per capita on health care than any other industrialized nation, yet we rank low in comparison to these same nations in terms of average health and life expectancy.
Clearly our health care system needs fixing.

Odumbass is finishing what the Republicans started... running the country right down the shitter. Only thing is, Odumbass is doing it on purpose, the socialist asswipe.
Fuck you demoshits.

What credit card and student loan reform have you seen? Nothing meaningful. Private student loans are still allowed to ass rape you. You still can't discharge student loans in bankruptcy. Credit cards are still allowed to charge usary rates of up to 33%. Obama's "reforms" haven't gone far enough as far as I am concerned.

#83 -- ahhh, more bitching from the very people who decry too much government. Here's some solid advice: grow up and learn how to handle your money.

Progressives are what put us in this multiTRILLION dollar hole. Thanks for fucking up America!

You were incorrect with your claim that "Barack Obama became the first sitting president to be a guest on a daytime talk show"...
Dudes - get a fact checker or two - GW and Laura Bush appeared on the Dr. Phil show while W was still President.

An oxymoron, of sorts, if there ever was one.
