Majesty?
Criminy, Pat Buchannon just opined on MSNBC that Obama shouldn't go on "The View" because it would "diminish the majesty of his office." Huh????? And here I thought we don't do that majesty stuff ever since we decided against monarchy.

As for dignity, both personal and presidential, Mr.Obama has frequently demonstrated both in odder venues. I'm no fan of the show, but I may watch on Thursday just to see how Hasslehump embarrasses herself.

2. Obama's going on The View?
Hmmm. I guess it's a means by which he might reach people who otherwise wouldn't ever watch or listen to him speak.

3. Theoretically, all elected officials work for us. There should be
no majesty associated with any political office.

Pat needs to review his history.

4. Maybe if the ratings are high enough,
the network will film "Survivor: The White House".

5. Drunken Bush added a lot of "majesty" to the office. Secondly, and I
haven't seen it mentioned, but supposedly POTUS will also be appearing on Morning Joe while in New York.

6. Well, the program is aimed at women who are at home
in the mid-morning. That's got to be declasse!
