The Times: Reports that President Obama while dealing with two wars, an economy in the toilet, a bonuses mess with AIG is going to appear on a US chat show. The point of a chat show in most cases is to sell something, a film, book, an event, charity fundraising. Can Obama sell the idea that he can be light on his feet and funny, Reagan and even Clinton had the ability to be funny and self aware, does Obama. I have to be honest, what I have seen of the President he dos not cope well with humour at his expense. In the campaign the political attack that he was a Star not a credible President seem to get under his skin. This move to a chat show could either be a great move or a disaster. Also the Washington Press core wont like the idea that a chat show host is getting the President while they have to wait for a formal Press Conference.
