Obama is 'eye candy' -- what I learned from 'The View'

President Obama arrived in New York City Monday just one day before his speech at the United Nations. The White House revealed that he will not meet privately with any world leaders who are in New York this week. So what brought him to the Big Apple?

His schedule was cleared so he could hold a gab fest with the ladies on "The View."

It was a difficult decision, I’m sure. Benjamin Netanyahu or Joy Behar?

I received a transcript of his television appearance on Monday night. It was revealing. (The interview airs Tuesday.) It appears that the president prattled on about all sorts of pressing matters — like his most recent tell-all in Vanity Fair and whether or not Mrs. Obama makes Mr. Obama mad.

The president explained how he keeps the first lady happy.

“I like lavishing her with all kinds of attention when she deserves it, and she always deserves it,” he replied.

President Obama also announced to the nation that he’s eye candy.

I kid you not.

“I told folks I’m just supposed to be eye candy here for you guys,” he told the gals.

That’s not exactly the kind of stuff you want to be reading while you’re eating your Nutter Butters.

It reminded me of when The New York Times waxed poetically about how the president enjoyed flossing in front of his body man — Reggie Love — not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course.

The first couple also described their ideal post-White House life.

Mrs. Obama said she wanted to go on a long vacation — but probably not to Spain, Martha’s Vineyard, Aspen, South Africa, Panama City, Vail, Maine, Hawaii, or Botswana. That’s because she’s already vacayed in those locales — compliments of the American taxpayer.

As for President Obama?

“The thing I think I would enjoy the most is spending time, working with kids,” he told the gals. “Just giving young people the sense of possibility, of opportunity.”

I suspect most young people would just settle for a job, Mr. President.

Sadly he did not do so well on the foreign policy portion of the interview. But in his defense, President Obama does have difficulty answering yes or no questions.

“Was the Libya attack terrorism?”

“There’s no doubt that the kind of weapons that were used, the ongoing assault, that it wasn’t just a mob action,” he replied. “What’s clear is that, around the world, there are still a lot of threats out there.”

For future reference, Mr. President, the correct answer is “yes.”

Now the average American might wonder how President Obama found the time to dish with those Chatty Cathies on "The View" – what with the world spiraling out of control.

The Middle East is in turmoil. They’re attacking our embassies. They’re burning our flag. Iran and Israel are moving closer to the brink.

But fear not, America. Our commander in chief always has time for Whoopie — Goldberg, that is. Whoopie Goldberg.

most gay guys are...from what chics say, anyway

one wonders how BUsh had time to eat with his family, have conversation with his friends, spend time on his ranch?

after all, werent we in 2 wars then?


more of the nitpickery,,,one more reason Im excited to see 11/04 come and go,,,,,

how many times was bush on the view? you seem to forget, that bush had a working white house station at his ranch... i haven't heard of one at the golf courses, or basketball courts... i'm also pretty sure there isn't one on the set of the view, either... bush had things to worry about, he really didn't have time for friends or family, unlike obama, who's only worry is to get re-elected and keep the entitlements he thinks he deserves....

ahhh,,who cares if bush had a 'working station'

do you know what is required for a 'work station'? a laptop and a phone with an intercom system,, 'working stations' are transportable and easily erected ANYWHERE these days

so what BUsh wasnt on 'the view'
do you realize how often presidents have been on david letterman or other late night shows?

EVERYONE Has time for down time in their job, even a president

they dont have an expectation to work 24/7, even they have families and need for personal time,,,

during a scheduled 6 DAY UN event, it is certainly not expected for someone attending to work all 144 hours,, he participated in the EVENT , which is what is expected

participated? i hardly think so... read up on what he's doing there, just giving a speech to try to collect more votes... this guy is worthless, our biggest joke in the white house....

to collect votes? really? so a good part of the electorate are actually watching the activities huh?

lol

i would hope all the elected officials are paying attention since barry won't...

being an insider is obviously not a requirement to post information or opinion on the forum of politics

as to being 'on call', thats the reason for workstations that can go up on a dime,,,

thanks for adding to the point
