BUT it sure is interesting ...

"President Obama will make history as the first sitting president on a daytime talk show when he visits with the ladies of "The View." But he'll be missing out on another historic occasion -- the Boy Scouts' Jamboree marking the group's 100th anniversary, right in the president's backyard.

The Jamboree kicked off this week at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia, where organizers had invited the president to speak to the 45,000 scouts in attendance. All three of Obama's predecessors have made it to one Jamboree while in office."

I am not exactly sure how I feel about this nor the importance but it does fall under the Obama litany of change !!!! There are a few blistering opinion pieces and editorials about the President going on the view to obviously sell and politic which is just about all he does ! It IS change !

Looks like our Kenyan President is more worried about his slipping numbers then he is about something as American as the Scouts. It is probably a good thing. Why soil such an honorable event with his presence.

That's what I said this morning in a discussion with my husband Pats. Well, minus the Kenyan thing. He could have sent Michelle, but I suppose she's getting ready for her trip to the luxury resort of Marbella in southern Spain. And then she'll be busy preparing for their vacation in Florida and then off to Martha's Vineyard...busy, busy, busy.

Four of the five women on The View adore Obama. A great place for him to get some warm fuzzies.

The Boy Scouts of America is an American institution, why would he attend? At least the scouts will not have to worry about Obama coming to the next Jamboree, he will not be the president!!!!

I will wait till after the show to see what is talked about. Keep in mind that the view has millions of liberal viewers. It is important to address the folks that put him in office as well as those that want him dead and gone.

Incendiary and unnecessary. What is wrong with you?

What do you mean. If it don't apply to you I did not intend it for you so don't get paranoid on me. It don't take a smart man to see how many folks on this Political site want the man gone and I am convinced that if he died, not many would grieve for the man. You may think you are qualified to make judgment about me, but you are not. Pat: you are very critical on this site, yet are so sensitive if anyone goes 1 degree to the left. You need to chill out. GGGGEEEEZZZZZZ

doesn't really matter what he said - viewers of the show vote - scouts do not...just another campaign and fund raising stop on his schedule.

LOU..the point of the thread is this....

The View to sit with housewives...or to celebrate the Boy Scouts. He IS the President of the United States.

I suppose what you are saying is that POLITICS is the most important and THAT is one thing I have criticized this man for because he painted a TOTALLY different picture while campaigning yet almost everything that he does is aimed at only POLITICS !

November is right around the corner. He is doing what he needs to get the message out to his voters that the mid term elections are very important.

That is exactly right. He is campaigning. Not saying there's anything wrong with that. As long as we are all clear what he is doing.

Here is my problem with this...he is the President of the United States...we have two wars going..one very badly (not his fault but it is a big war going badly)...we have very high unemployment.....among a number of other problems and he is going to be on THE VIEW.

Well, again Lou......I get your point but that is one of the HUGE criticisms of him...his eternal, ongoing POLITICING when he preached and preached that there was change and this White House has become, with no contradiction, the single most political White House in history.

If that is what you want in your President.....fine..you got it. It always seems to be about politics and nothing more. Would love for him to have an open press conference like other Presidents instead of these "stunts" but everything this man does is totally controlled.

That is all he knows how to do. He has never run anything in his life and he surrounds himself with government hacks who never held a private sector job. Attack, defend and campaign.

Hey Lou; I thought you promised to play golf and stay away from all us incendiary right-wingers for a few months and get your blood pressure down, or you had better things to do, or ...................

Wha' Happen'?????
