1. Oh my.

How much do we bet they'll totally suck up to him like the mean girls they all are? To his face, they're going to be as respectful as can be ... then the rest of the week they'll rip him up and run comments out of context.

Not that I care. I might actually tune in for this interview. Then immediately turn them off again.

Go, President Obama! I love that you're willing to take the fight right to them ... as always! (But please stay off Fox News this time. Give them no ground, no respect. They're a faker news organization than the Onion. Don't pretend otherwise, because you ain't getting any of their zombie viewers to vote for you.)

9. I think this is a good idea because they do let serious politicians speak long

enough to make their points. (That is why like you I think Fox is a no go.)

This link of Kerry speaking after the second debate shows that even Scarborough is likely closer to Obama than Romney (Ryan/Norquist) on the budget issue - and Kerry laid it out - not as partisan - but as "serious".

Now, I don't have any idea who watches Morning Joe (demographically) but judging from this, they are willing to hear the Democratic side.

[helpisontheway]

2. Why in the world would be give that bunch an interview?

Yeah...grant the interview to the bunch that throws you under the bus every single morning. Yeah...that makes a lot of sense. SMH.

[Cosmocat]

12. cause it will be one morning

when they won't.

You have six more MJs before the election - there is one where they won't be doing the usual Joey circle jerk BS.

[CTyankee]

15. Probably because the Obama campaign employs people who research which of these cable talk

shows have some influence due to who and how many watch them. MJ is unpopular here but is watched by lots of people who have political significance. I don't think the campaign is stupid.

[democrattotheend]

19. As GOP commentators go, Scarborough is far from the worst

He can sometimes be insightful and he criticizes Republicans sometimes.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. I'd rather he go on Hardball or Rachel or Ed's show

Fuck the Conservative Cabal in the morning, and that means you too, Mika! They were ridiculous this morning fluffing Rmoney and his supposed momentum again.

[tessar]

10. Better to be on the show that draws repugs and independents

Which includes most of the staff.

[ladjf]

4. Be careful Mr. President. There are some unsavory characters on that show. nt

[Cosmocat]

11. halfwitted intellectual lightweights

who like to pat themselves on the back.

And, as others noted, they will suck up to him while he is there.

[Pisces]

5. Because he has nothing to fear. He is the real deal unlike Romney who is hiding!!

[Major Hogwash]

6. This is kind of scary, going into "the pit of hell" just before Halloween.

I hope President Obama has his mojo working for him then.

I want to see him make Joe cry!

[JoePhilly]

7. Scabby will be in tears by the end of this.

[moobu2]

13. That will be a pleasure to see too.

[Third Doctor]

8. If I was Obama I would not give Joe Scabs show the time of day.

[moobu2]

14. I think it's a smart move.

President Obama is using them for free advertising and he's smart enough not to make any gaffs.

[democrattotheend]

20. Scarborough is far from the worst GOP commentators

If Obama is going to give his time to a GOP commentator, Scarborough is one of the better ones. That said, I feel like he would be better off giving an interview to a right-leaning commentator on a network that doesn't attract mostly liberals.

[brooklynite]

16. But WE won't be watching because we don't like Joe...or Ed...or Chuck...or David...or Harold...or...

[vinny9698]

17. The big difference Mitt hiding out just like he did during the Viet Nam War.

No more press interviews for Mitt, can not question his nonsense.

[Cha]

22. Exactly vinnie. mittloaf is hiding out from the media and PBO

is OUT THERE making his case even to morning joe's.

[vinny9698]

18. Ford is an executive for Morgan Stanley, yet no disclosure on the program

He comes across as a concerned ex politician but in reality he is a paid shrill for the banking industry.

21. What Joe said about Obama today ....

President Obama Appearing On Morning Joe On Monday

MSNBC announced earlier today that President Obama will be appearing on Morning Joe this coming Monday. Obama will sit down for an interview with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski tomorrow in New Hampshire for Monday’s broadcast.

This comes on the heels of Scarborough saying earlier today that he would be “shocked” if Obama wins reelection, arguing that his poll numbers don’t look good for an incumbent, and no one is going to suddenly decide on voting for him in the final two weeks of the election.

23. Sounds like joe has the typical rw bs down to a teabag.
