Networks snub Obama on primetime Healthcare address

WASHINGTON — White House officials sought valuable primetime air for a rare, impromptu Tuesday night address to tout the accomplishment of signing up more than 7 million people under the Affordable Care Act. But network officials refused to make the kind of accommodation they did previously for the announcement that Osama Bin Laden had been killed, for instance, and Obama was left instead cutting into the much smaller audiences of Ellen and other daytime shows. Three sources familiar with the request confirmed the White House asked for the primetime slot in their effort both to emphasize a bright moment following the challenging roll out and, more important, to try to reintroduce the country to a law that remains unpopular. One top White House official referred BuzzFeed to another top official for comment on the conversation with networks, but the second official did not respond to a request for comment. People familiar with the request declined to reveal which network blocked the primetime address, but broadcast networks have traditionally been much more reluctant than cable networks to provide the White House with evening air time.

Giving him the Putin treatment.

The comments on this article are telling. Buzzfeed, typically a very liberal bastion, has far more negative comments against the president than I would have suspected.
He may be lucky he didn't make it on TV to brag about something a vast majority of the country doesn't think he should be bragging about.
Of course you made a deadline when it's a fine to ignore it, and you keep extending the deadline.

It's the blatant and in-your-face LYING, SL. Disgusting...and pretty useless to even continue a dialogue...when it means only what Obama decides the dialogue/deal should mean.
Once your wife lies and you find out...will you ever trust any thing she says?
The only kind of stuff he'll get done...is the kind where he uses his "pen or phone". Herding cats. :beatdeadhorse:
