President Obama won’t be watching the GOP presidential candidates duke it out during Wednesday night's GOP debate.

"I suspect, knowing him, knowing his viewing habits that he will not watch it," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Wednesday. "He has a family at home.

"He tends to, when he watches TV at all, it's either sports or a movie, so I don't expect he will," the press secretary added. "But the president obviously keeps up with what's in the news . And I'm sure he will be aware of the general back and forth of the debate come tomorrow morning. “

"He'll be prepared when that time comes, he might look at a little tape when that time comes," Carney said. "But for now I think he'll continue his practice of finding something better to do."

1. There must be

an actually funny comedy show on somewhere.

8. "The Tudors"...9 pm EST. In a way it's hilarious..n/t

2. Something more I have in common with the President. . .

I too will find "something better to do" tonight.

3. I wait for the next day talk shows to reveal the gaffes. That's the only thing I like to see.

I'm disappointed when there aren't any. But that's rare, isn't it?

4. He could watch old episodes of "The Three Stooges"

One less stooge than the GOP debate will make it easier to follow the action!

6. I see Dopey, Daffy, Dingy, and Doozy on that stage

I'm just not sure in which order, though. Seriously, it would make a great reality comedy show if it didn't have such negative consequences to this country.

5. looking forward to it - there has been quite a bit of activity that hopefully is questioned

like Santorum's strange comments re Obama's "phony" theology.

7. Sounds like me.

Watching the Clown Car debates beginning to end is alternatively boring and infuriating.

I tend to just get the highlights later from TPM, Media Matters, etc.

9. I don't know how anyone can sit through that

I appreciate the people that do because I like to read about it on here but I don't see how they do it. Probably alot of vodka involved.

10. Me either. Same with folks who watch Fox News shows or listen to Rush (even occasionally).

Hats off for being able to stand it, because I know I sure can't.
