Obama Just Did Something Mindboggling Stupid
I don't care what the calculus behind this is, his decision to appear on Fox News Sunday is very very stupid.
Because top line Democrats no longer appear on their show, Fox has lost credibility, and they know it, and now Obama is sitting down because he thinks that he's somehow going to charm them into liking him.
Even if they weren't dishonest excuses for journalists, this would not happen. Journalists are small people who hold grudges over stuff like this, and they buy ink by the hogshead,* so this is a lose-lose.
It's sh%$ like this that makes me wonder if he's not ready for prime time.
*OK it's hundreds of TV stations, but the analogy holds....
