Barack Hussein Obama, aka George Bush II, is once again demanding TV networks bump their popular shows for another one of his boring hour-long speeches — this time during sweeps.
Does he think he’s still on the campaign trail?
Obama has already pre-empted two hours of national TV airtime at a cost of millions in lost revenue to the networks. This time the networks are fuming — privately, of course.
“These repeated interruptions — and the rumor of even more to come — really make it difficult to build audience flow and loyalty. We will all lose one or two million dollars for this,” said one network exec to the Hollywood Reporter.
I was just discussing this subject the other day with my good girlfriend who mistakenly thought the TV networks were obligated to allocate airtime to Obama and his teleprompter. But they are not obligated to do so. That’s like Obama demanding your house or your car for an hour without adequate compensation.
This is typical behavior of narcissists who crave attention and feel they must constantly be on display. It would be nice if the government reimbursed the networks for their lost revenue like they throw billions at failing corporations.
Obama’s snooze-worthy speech will air next Tuesday evening on four broadcast networks and bump the most popular series on television, Fox’s “American Idol.” [LINK]
