President Obama, Making Time for Entertainment Tonight
By Jim Geraghty
August 15, 2012 8:14 P.M.

Unemployment is 8.3 percent (actually over 11% using hsitorical methods of calculating), we’re about two and a half months away from Election Day, the president hasn’t answered questions from the White House press corps in eight weeks… but today President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama sat down for an interview with… Entertainment Tonight.

The president responds to the furor over Biden’s remarks, telling Nancy O’Dell, “You know, the truth is that what Joe Biden was talking about, again, is an example of a substantive argument, a substantive issue that the American people should be concerned about. His phrasing is a distraction from what is at stake.”

Obama also found time to do an interview with People magazine.

Back in May, after President Obama answered questions about the Kardashians and Fifty Shades of Gray in an appearance on “The View,” Entertainment Weekly’s television critic Ken Tucker argued that it was time for the commander-in-chief to start skipping the fluff interviews: “If you’re going to spend time on TV, Mr. President — and Mr. Romney — do us all a favor and skip Whoopi and The Daily Show and Jay and Dave and the Jimmys and all the celebrity news anchors on the networks. Just speak to us directly, or engage in debates that are real debates which will allow for considered thought and direct questioning of your opponent’s positions.”

Biden: 'I'm Proud To Be President'
By Noel Sheppard
January 20, 2013 | 10:20

After some laughter and a nudge from someone on stage, Biden corrected himself.

"I'm proud to be Vice President of the United States," he said, "and I'm prouder to be Barack Obama, President Barack Obama's Vice President."

"Well, there goes that," Biden joked. "Look, on a serious note, I guess I'm lucky to get back to a serious note."

This of course wasn't the first time Biden was confused about who's in the White House. In November, he referred to Obama as President Clinton.

But that's only the beginning:



Biden's the Gaffe King, Not Ryan

MRC Calls on Media to Spotlight Biden's Numerous Gaffes on Eve of Convention Speech

ABC, CBS and NBC Bury Bumbling Biden's Most Embarrassing Moments

Biden's Green Bay Gaffe: Claims Only 1,980 Troops Have Died in Afghanistan

Coulter: 'Biden’s Gaffes Aren't That Damaging to Obama Because Media Is So Playing a Part in This Campaign'

Buchanan: 'Biden Makes One or Two More Gaffes There Is Going to be Real Apprehension in Democrat Party'

Peggy Noonan: If Biden Were Republican Meet the Press's Topic Would Be 'How Stupid Is This Person?'

Giuliani: If Biden Were a Republican Making These Gaffes 'He'd Be Plastered All Over the Media'

And this is a man America's media will gleefully support in 2016 if he wins his party's nomination for president.
