Obama to Appear on ‘Meet the Press’

[brooklynite]

Source: The Daily Beast

Wow, President Obama must really want to talk the fiscal cliff. NBC announced Saturday that President Obama will appear on its heavy-hitting political talk show Meet the Press on Sunday. The president has not appeared on the show in three years. He will be interviewed by the show's moderator, David Gregory, who had been on vacation following an investigation by Washington, D.C., police. Even more nail-biting? The interview is set to air just hours before the fiscal-cliff deadline.

I predict that a contingent of people here will complain that David Gregory is a RW-shill, and another contingent will complain that something the President says means that he's "caving" to the Republicans.....

1. Now repubs will be on there for 10 straight weeks

We just can't have these Democrats on so much.

2. more predictions

David Gregory is "disrespectful" to Obama (aka asked him a question)

Obama "smacked down" Gregory (aka answered a question)

[closeupready]

3. lol, yup, pretty much.

Many a truth said in jeste.

[Berlum]

4. Gregory (R) is just another overpaid Republican Propaganda Pimp

...as he demonstrates each week...

13. I think agreeing that Obama is from another planet

is disrespectful to both the man and the presidency, but what do I know? Which planet were they referring to? Africa?

5. I can't wait to see it. I would have watched it anyway, but now I'm excited to see it.

7. Wow - I'm excited!

This will be the first time I've watched this show since I really can't remember! And I really can't.

6. "heavy-hitting political talk show"...really?

well that`s one of the funniest things i have read in the last few days.

`meet the press' has`t been relevant in years.

8. The "press" regardless of source hasnt been to relevant for a long time.

I mean come on, they let Bush 2 skate through most of his two terms and have been letting the republicans get away with far to much for decades without really confronting them with the facts that expose them as the liars that they (the republicans) are.

[madrchsod]

10. i`m old enough to remember when the press did their job

that was before the news became part of the entertainment budget.

9. I'm hoping Gregory won't be predictably

rude to the President. Pres Obama did say he was going to take this to the American People and here it is.

11. I'm guessing in that little

meeting with the leaders he told them as much. I'll bet he also said that what he says on the show will be a report on their progress. I'll bet he also threatened the SOTU address and Inauguration speeches as vehicles to destroy them.

12. I don't know how to start new posts but here are the air times for Meet the Press

today, December 30, 2012, for all areas.

14. I think that David Gregory

Was a bit defensive about the media's role in not calling things as they really are, aka, claiming to be balanced in a situation that is entirely unbalanced.
