First President Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize. Now, hes been nominated for an Emmy, as a result of the interview that he did with comedian Zach Galifinakis.
The web-based Funny or Die interview of President Obama has been nominated for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program category.
The Obama interview on Between Two Ferns, using a combination of satire and wit, caused views of the Healthcare website to spike by nearly 40%. The Republicans ridiculed Obama for his appearance; calling him desperate:
They also argued that it was inappropriate for the President of the United States to be advertising a law, or sitting down for a comedy skit (I cant think of a better way to describe the OReilly Interview, but thats just me):
Perhaps the Republicans deserve a nod too; if it werent for their slavish devotion towards attempting to stifle Obamacare, as PoliticusUSA points out, the president would never have had to take the steps he took to get the word out. I understand that Razzies are all the rage this year; thats what you give to bad comedy programs, right?

Look, if Barack Obama cured cancer, the Republicans would attack him for putting oncologists out of work.

If President Obama cured cancer, the loudest voices on DU would attack him for ... well ... Income Inequality, or NSA ...!

(31,849 posts)Go to any article/OP posted to DU that can possibly be seen as positive or "good news" ... look down thread, and you will see exactly what you claim doesn't happen here.
If you don't wish to look for yourself, just let me know ... I'll post a link or 10 (not that you will read it/them.)
