President Obama's Occupation of Sunday Morning Television

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

You probably haven't heard about this because it's not really getting any media coverage, but Barack Obama was crowned the King of Televisionland yesterday morning

President Obama gave five back-to-back television interviews broadcast on Sunday that were as tightly choreographed — and eerily similar — as the multiple Magritte bowler-hatted men milling in the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair."

I don't really get that reference because there aren't any spiteful wizards or break-dancing robots in that movie, but I'm gonna just assume it's quite apt. Quite apt, indeed.

Anyway, the health care infomercial Obama wasn't really anything new to anybody who's spent the last couple weeks not strapped to a bed on life support. The real news is that the White House and Fox News are totally hot for each other. They are so totally gonna do it!

But Mr. Obama chose to make a statement — and raise a distracting fuss on Fox News — by declining to speak.

And Fox milked it. When he was not talking about Acorn, Mr. Wallace bemoaned the presidential slight, asking, "Whatever happened to reaching out to all Americans?" He told Bill O'Reilly that the White House aides were "a bunch of crybabies."

Apparently, the feeling is mutual. "We figured Fox would rather show 'So You Think You Can Dance' than broadcast an honest discussion about health insurance reform," a White House deputy press secretary told ABC News on Saturday. "Fox is an ideological outlet where the president has been interviewed before and will likely be interviewed again; not that the whining particularly strengthens their case for participation any time soon."

Rowr! When they finally throw their differences aside and get down to bid'ness, it's gonna be even better than when Kryptonimus the Necromancer King and Big Ro-Boi 3000 got together at the end of "Da Wastelands III: Revenge of the Black Def."
