The Arts and Obama

The New York Times: Reports how the TV comedy circuit is dealing with President Obama, the liberal NYT writes the following, " The bits about him are getting harsher. They are no longer just gentle gibes.." At the end of the day its about getting viewers to watch, more viewers more TV ads and thus more money for the networks. These networks are not going to be an arm of the Obama Administration till the end of time, they need viewers, if viewers are not happy with President Obama they have only Fox to watch, does not matter how Liberal the networks are, its about the dollar at the end of the day. Thus President Obama might look back at his early Presidency as his best time, the late night chat shows are going to after him now, they have to after he go the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, really NOTHING!. I will almost guarantee that former President Bill Clinton will have a smile on his face, lets be honest it must hurt him, President Carter ( 1977 -1981 ), Vice - President Al Gore ( 1993 2001 ), President Obama ( 2009 - ) all Democrats have gotten a Nobel Peace Prize, and it can be argued that President Clinton does deserve the prize for his charity work after leaving Office. Even the Nobel Peace Prize Committee cant give it to him now, even they must read the press after the Obama award, it could be years if not decades before Clinton gets a look in for the prize, thus he will have to watch the TV comedians send Obama up, that might be his only consolation.
