Ron Hart on Obama's Jes' Plain Folks Shtick
Columnist Ron Hart in the OC Register:
After making more TV appearances and videos than Lady Gaga in his first year interning as president at the White House, Obama has decided to take a different tact in appealing to women. Women viewers and shut-ins, who otherwise would be in the throes of being taken advantage of by the Home Shopping Network or being pitched by a local plaintiff's attorney, are now his target audience. If explaining macroeconomics on "The View" works for him, he should make a guest appearance on "Grey's Anatomy" to explain the 2,000-page Obamacare bill.
He wants to show that he is in touch with the "common" man, but makes no mention of why his wife, Michelle, booked 30 five-star hotel suites in a ritzy Spanish hotel this week on the taxpayer's dime. We all know the Obamas scorn greed and ostentatious spending – by others.

His people always over reach. They just cant help it.
Batten the hatches!
I saw "Ron Hart" but read "Ron White". I'm all like "tater salad is writing political opinion pieces now?"
That would be awesome!
"tater salad" worked for Goldman Sachs, made a stack, is on CNN and has his column in 40 papers.
I guess he is a dumb ass! We need more like him spreading our message...ala PJ O'Rourke.

Obama has decided to take a different tact
That should be "take a different tack".
No. A lack of tact is a different tact.
How many Lobsters and Alaskan King Crabs must die to feed Michelle and her posse?
Michelle and her what?
Er, possum.
Pussy?
Best. Username. Ever.
I'm down with other people's posse.
I mean, have you seen the price of arugula lately???
Still, as always, pretty cheap, even for the organic kind.
Just because lots of poor/working-class people are too enamored with their soda pop and corn chips to look at cheap ass vegetables (kale is $.92 a giant bunch) doesn't mean arugula is somehow the fancy person's food.
I'll admit that I don't watch the view at all. So, I'm curious as to what his response was to the 1 real question.
Actually, never mind. I think I already know.
The people who grew up middle class like the Obamas and the Clintons but became rich are much worse than the Bushs and even Kennedys who know ostentatious displays of wealth are stupid.
Fucking $2 million dollars for a four hour event. Sickening.
Fish swim, birds fly, Obama campaigns. It's what he's best at.
It does get tiresome after a while.
Hart said in our local paper, and they cut it in Orange Co register..
"this is 2nd time a sitting president had done daytime TV, but the 3rd time Barbara Walters has done a sitting President" Folks that is good stuff, I don't care who you are.
Actually I don't get it....
Great column!
This guy is fucking funny as hell.
Hart says "Men will watch a show with women in it for only two reasons: They think there is going to be a cat fight, or they think someone might get naked."
That is freaking so right.
Funny column as usual -- I'd like to see Hart on The View!
Have you no shame, Hart? Fuck you and the sockpuppet you rode in on.
Cheap populism is in, you betcha!
P Brooks sucks. He has long had a man crush on Hart.
He really should get a life beyond the twin bed he sleeps in situated in his parents basement. The Donnie Osmond poster is a nice touch P Brooks. Keep up the good work.
GO RON!
