Is Obama senile...
...or is he simply a liar? After joking that,“This next provision (in the health care bill) is called the Jersey Shorah. It reads, ‘The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill: Snooki, JWOWW, The Situation and House minority leader John Boehner.”, our President claimed that "I'm sorry, I don't know who that is," when asked about the big-haired "Jersey Shore" bombshell on The View. I guess he was talking to his "audience", women who sit around watching a group of other women chat about the topics du jour.
As offensive as that lie was to women who the President envisions as nit wits never bothering to pay attention to news programing, preferring instead to watch a bunch of yahoos chit chatting about Angelina Jolie and her current victim Brad Pitt as well as other mind numbing Hollywood denizens...it was nowhere near as offensive as was his appearance on the daytime dribble mosh pit. In response to a staggering decrease in female support, Obama decided to help his poll numbers by speaking to us...the fairer of the sexes.
He could have chosen any number of actual news shows on which to spew his knowledge, or lack thereof, about some silly show by which I have not been assaulted. But, as Obama seems to think, he wouldn't find us watching Meet The Press or Face The Nation. Instead, he believes that women's political interests reach no further than the silly diatribes spouted by the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd. Of course, Barbara Walters is close to being a news person, but she is obviously a stalwart supporter of Obama and asked no pointed questions of the type she once aimed at others whom she interviewed years, even decades ago. Elisabeth Hasselbeck may be tempted to ask a hard hitting question or two but the few times I have tuned into watch the women of The View, she was skewered for doing so. I'm not sure why a woman of her caliber would even want to continue her employment as a member of that insipid group, but for whatever reason, she is still there.
Should any questions of substance make it through the President's press people, surely no one would dare to follow up his nonsensical answers with a follow up question, preferring instead to keep their jobs and let his non-answers stand for what they are...silly responses aimed at silly women who would never have the critical thinking skills necessary to see that his "answers" are, indeed, a load of crap.
Why would Obama think women to be so stupid? Apparently he's used to women like his wife who I thought would have better things to do as First Lady than to sit around watching daytime fluff pieces. But, Obama tells us that he chose The View because he wanted to find something that Michelle watched. I bet anyone a dollar to a donut that Michelle will see that comment for what it was, a demeaning elucidation meant to imply that she has better programming choices than the news shows which she skips over with her remote.
As long as no Women's Study curriculum in our nation's universities contain one single course in logic, reasoning or critical thinking, we can be assured that the students who graduate from such programs will never have the brains to debate anyone or notice a stupid answer from any politician. But many of us chose other courses of study which taught us a bit about what a distracting answer sounds like. Unfortunately for Obama, we do vote and we don't sit at home watching The View. Any woman who isn't insulted by the debacle to be aired on today's episode of The View is the type of woman that Obama is speaking to and to those women I say, enjoy the bullshit, ladies.

Remember when The Who put out the record, "Won't Get Fooled Again?" I remember it WELL.
And I feel like that song has more relevance in my life NOW than it did even then.
