Why won't Obama just GTF OFF of TV for cryin' out loud?

Why do you suppose he speaks and speaks and speaks instead of working?

(I know that he's speaking today about verterans, and that's good (depending on what he actually SAYS) but generally, he's on TV like EVERY day - when does this guy do any WORK?)

    He is Media whore. Like a drug addict. Has to have it. Will never stop flapping his lips as long as some idiot is listening. His job is to convince you, that he can save you after he creates the problem destroying you.

    Umm the President doesn't have any control over whether he's on TV or not. The networks are private companies and have full control over what goes on TV. There is no state-run media like there is in most ACTUAL socialist countries. The networks put Obama on TV a lot though because he's very popular in the US and around the world, and people like to hear what he says, even if they don't agree with him.

    That, and it's his job to talk to the American people.

    According to a "survey" completed by Newsweek August 2009, the following is TRUE of Obama:

    1. He HAS made more appearances on a wide variety of forums, than ANY POTUS before him, after 8 months in office;

    2. He HAS made references to "I, me, my" an AVERAGE of 63 times PER speech, almost twice as much as the next one.

    NBC had received an "exclusive" interview by a famous psychiatrist about what he saw as "severe" personality disorders in Obama's OBSESSION and COMPULSION, to be in front of people and lights and PROMOTE himself. NBC refused to air it and buried it instead.

    Can anyone say "prostituted and castrated" mainstream news media" ?

    What is GTF? It is in your question (first line)

    verterans ---do you mean veterans?

    like EVERY day ---do you mean, almost everyday?

    It is hard for us to take you serious when there are so many inconsistencies in your grammar and spelling. Can you think it out better and rewrite it for us?

    Thank you

    It is a Socialist trait,

    Hugo Chavez has his own weekly TV show where he speaks for hours.

    Castro did the same.

    Kim would speak often and anytime he wanted.

    They all believe they are the smartest people in the world and everyone should hear them.

    They also love the sound of their own voice

    The same reason Bush and most Presidents before him were on TV a lot.

  • 1 decade ago

    He's the president and he's working a hell of a lot more than Bush did. Obviously you fail to see what is really happening.

    Obama has a lot to do on his plate.

    The vast majority of it cannot be done by executive decree: It requires him persuading people to do what he wants. How does he do that? He appeals directly to them and indirectly to them through the voters.

    How do you appeal to large numbers of people?

    He's just doing his job.

    He does a whole lot of talking and touring and has yet to do anything since taking office almost 11 months ago.

  • Because Obama is a bad president, The only reason he won is because all the black people and igorent white people voted for him.
