Seems that Obama is scheduled to be on MythBusters, apparently to talk about death rays. Does this strike you as strange, considering all that is going on in the country? Well, maybe not, If there is one thing obama needs it is good publicity, which be definition cannot be connected to his performance in government.
Unfortunately for him, MythBusters will be just more of the same, for no one knows more about busted myths than this historic president.
Healthcare costs will go down under ObamaCare- BUSTED
ObamaCare will help close the deficit-BUSTED
The stimulus package will hold unemployment under 8%-BUSTED
The economy is recovering-BUSTED
Taxes will not be raised for anyone making less that $250,000-BUSTED
Obama is not anti-business-BUSTED
Republicans are accepting foreign money for campaigns-BUSTED
If you like your health insurance, you can keep it-BUSTED
Social Security is not going bankrupt-BUSTED
The stimulus will provide shovel ready jobs-DOUBLE BUSTED

http://politifact.com/ has a whole record of where he's been "busted" and where he's actually kept his promises. 22 promises broken for 122 promises kept. Not a bad record...

0bama is the only president that I can remember going on any TV show other than a State of the Union address.
What we have here is a narcissistic community agitator with delusions of godhood who thinks a making a promise is the same as keeping a promise.
regardless of what others may say, this article makes some very good points, and it is those other people who need to get out more.
The CBO has already shown us that 0bamacare is a bust... it is going to increase the cost of healthcare, instead of making it cheaper which was the stated purpose.
Yes, people need to go to prison... but it isn't the health insurance providers... it is everyone with a (D) behind their name.

As I recall, that was during the campaign... Yep, here is a link.

"When George W. Bush appeared on the "Late Show With David Letterman" just prior to the 2000 election,"
http://www.salon.com/news/politics/feature/2000/10/20/letterman/
As I also recall, Clinton played the sax during the campaign as well.
As to whether or not he played on TV as president, well that is difficult to verify, as I have yet to find a link for it.
As for playing the sax on SNL, there are lot of links with various Clinton imposters playing the sax.
So yes, I do keep up.
In fact, I spend 3-4 hours a day keeping up, reading the news and articles and opinions.
How much research do you do?

You missed Clinton playing the sax on Saturday Night Live or Bush on Letterman?

nice and well I was going to post a link to the politifact website as they are really a great website. Also I am not to sure I would trust the website you linked to but I will check it out Real Quick like....Well it doesn't look good as most of the comments where about how Wrong she was and how she needs to get out more often.
Oh and well for him going on a Televison show well I don't know it is either that or Golfing which our last president did after our nation was ATTACKED!!

Actually, Bush quit golfing after we were attacked... funny that you don't know that.
0blabla continues to golf on a regular basis however, no matter what crisis has to wait on him to finish.

That's too funny Agent 007! 
Since Bush wasn't golfing *during* the attack on 9/11 what connection is there to those attacks and the fact that he stopped? Also, exactly what crisis had to wait for Obama to finish a round of golf? These are serious questions so, if by any chance you have the answers, I'd certainly be interested in reading them.

Maybe your remark would be better aimed at dark_joev since he is the one that mentioned the golfing.
You mean to tell me you didn't hear about them not wanting to disturb 0bama while he was golfing when that oil spill thingy was going on?
I guess your not as informed as you would like everyone to think you are.

Think we'll be missing that episode. Unless they are myth busting about him being experienced enough to be president. BUSTED.

It does seem a bit strange. i would never think about a president of a nation being on a television show like mythbusters. Some people woulld probably watch this just out of the curiosity of it. @RobtheRock (2433)

Djbtol. I think you have things confused. here is what you should have written;
Healthcare costs will go down under ObamaCare- Jury Is Out
ObamaCare will help close the deficit- Jury Is Out
The stimulus package will hold unemployment under 8%- Jury Is Out
The economy is recovering- TRUE
Taxes will not be raised for anyone making less that $250,000- TRUE if Congress acts.
Obama is not anti-business- TRUE
If you like your health insurance, you can keep it- TRUE
Social Security is not going bankrupt - The Jury Is Out but it does look bad
The stimulus will provide shovel ready jobs- The Jury is Out

You are the one who is confused... Djbtol has it exactly right.
Healthcare costs are already rising, also see CBO reports which say the same thing.
0bamacare will widen the deficit... again see CBO.
Unemployment has been holding at nearly 10% even after the stimulus was done... where have you been all summer?
0blabla is anti-business... why do you think he is against the businesses having the same voice that the unions have? Then there is all of the anti-business rules and regulations that he is trying to ram through.
He likes to blame business for the economy, when in fact the economy was caused by government interference in business.
Taxes will be raised on everyone, regardless of what Congress does. If you knew anything about economics, you would know this.
You cannot keep your health insurance... that was a flat out lie. More businesses are coming out everyday with the news that they can no longer afford to offer health insurance.
Social Security is going bankrupt... some say it already is. ...Where have YOU been?
0blabal just admitted that he did not know that there were no such things as "shovel ready" jobs....
I don't know where you have been getting you info, but you need to find a new source, because they be telling you lies.

God forbid a person that disagrees with you votes. What type of fools would wish to have such a political system where anyone can vote?
