I Love The Smell Of Republican Heads Exploding In The Morning.......It Smells Like........Victory!!...
President Obama is such a fail. First he wins a Nobel Peace Prize and now hes been nominated for an Emmy for the interview he did with comedian Zach Galifianakis on his Web series Between Two Ferns. This is proof that the entire world hates Republicans. That web based Funny or Die clip has been nominated for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program category. Really, Republicans deserve the credit for this Emmy nod (which is good since they cant credit Obama for anything except blaming him for things they did), because if they hadnt been fear-mongering about Obamacare in the first place, the President never would have had to take such extreme measures to get the word out.
But Republicans told Americans that Obama was going to kill their babies with death panels and the government was taking over their medical decisions. In contrast, to show you their idea of American freedom, Republicans have successfully fought to let your boss/faceless corporations with an agenda make your medical decisions. Thatll show Obama! So Obama did an interview with comedian Zach Galifianakis on his Web series Between Two Ferns and together, using satire and wit, they increased views to Healthcare.Gov by 40%. The President and Zach Galifianakis have some stiff Emmy competition, facing off against a Super Bowl halftime clip and a Parks and Rec mini episode. (Vice President Joe Biden was on Parks and Rec, by the way, and the show pays obvious homage to Hillary Clinton as a role model for female politicians). The Right wing will be beside themselves over this, after all, they went nuts over his mere appearance in the show, as they feel he should not be mentioning the law in public or something:
Right wing media declared the Emmy nominated President desperate:
Oh, yes. Everything Obama touches is such a glitch fail. Why cant he be more like former President Bush? Republicans sided with the Taliban when Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, so theres really no telling how this Emmy nod about a show he did to help get the word out about affordable healthcare will impact them. Brace yourselves.

It's not just Zach Galifianakis's brain-dead questions and absence of charisma -- it's his greasy hair, scruffy clothes, flushed complexion, slouching, wrinkled script (from which he has to read the president's name). There's no eye contact with either his guests or his camera angles, and he pouts like a spoiled toddler when checkmated. Add the crap production values that were the hallmark of no-budget, pre-cable public access TV (including an elevator music theme song), garnish with the irony that the guests are from the top rather than the bottom of the ladder where public access TV guests traditionally came from, and Between Two Ferns can't help but be a living monument to unprofessional media.
Put another way, my sister once told me that Patrica "Hyacinth Bucket" Routledge of Keeping Up Appearances "really is a very good singer in real life." I said, "You wasted your breath telling me that -- you HAVE TO be a really good singer to sing as BADLY as she does as WELL as she does!"

Then we get a GOP prez who is a smug frat-boy dumb bunny who does't want to sit down with any of you low-lifes.
Meanwhile..... Dem prez's win awards..... for being on hip shows.
