The Sunday “Sweeps”
Today the Patriot Flag I am flying is the South Carolina Flag. Here’s why …
Relatively Quiet
I’m flying the South Carolina State Flag because today is going to be a “quiet” political day at my house. President Obama is doing a “media sweep” in the morning hitting all the talk shows … and I’m tired of listening to him, so the new flatscreen is going to get a well-deserved rest in the morning. (Maybe the fish will be biting?)
From Mediate.com: Do you feel like you haven’t seen enough of President Barack Obama lately? It’s been nearly two days since his last speech! Well if you need your Obama fix – get ready for the Commander-in-Chief to go on the biggest media push ever: five, yes, five Sunday morning shows this weekend. But no FOX.
WH spokesman Robt Gibbs confirms Obama will appear on Sunday shows this coming weekend on ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Univision. That means FOX News Sunday is the odd show out – and Univision completes the five-show sweep. We’ll call it “El Completo Ginsburg“.
This is beyond unprecedented – according to the New York Times Caucus blog, “Newsmakers in the past have managed to pull of the unlikely feat of hitting the big three Sunday interview shows on CBS, NBC and ABC. But this is a presidential first.”
Pres. Obama and the White House may like to take shots at the media – but he sure enjoys going on their news shows. And this only furthers the divide between the administration and Fox News. It’s a striking decision by a White House that continues to talk bipartisanship, while staging what seems like a boycott of Fox and its properties.
(And he’ll be on Letterman after that … oh me!) I believe his narcissism is beginning to show again. Oh well, at least in the afternoon we have a choice … of FOOTBALL Games:

So President is having HIS Media Clean Sweep today . . .
. . . and I’m having mine!
Update … and that Dallas/NYG game was Out of Sight! Too bad they had the “best game of the year” as the first game!
