The One Television Show that Obama Should Be On

Jack E. Kemp

Barack Obama has been on so many television shows, from David Letterman’s and Jay Leno’s programs to The View and a host of others, one can’t believe there is a program he would scrupulously avoid. But there appears to be one.

 

The program I’d like to see Pres. Obama appear on is the NBC program called Who Do You Think You Are? http://www.nbc.com/who-do-you-think-you-are/episode-guide/  that is sponsored, in significant part, by Ancestry.com. For those of you unfamiliar with this show, this is the American version of a BBC program in which one famous show business personality each week goes in search of their ancestors, meeting with genealogists, county and state historical record archivists, and academic historians. They travel to places as diverse as Africa and Ireland, Lithuania and Bulgaria. Invariably, the show business types found out things that visibly startle them, in some cases to the point of tears. This includes tales of ancestors being slave holders on a plantation (Paula Dean), having been free blacks before Emancipation who “bought” relatives in order to legally liberate them from ownership by whites (Blair Underwood), helped create the Wells Fargo Bank (Helen Hunt), and been a Hessian foot soldier in the American Revolution who was captured and later switched sides to become an American Patriot (Rob Lowe). 

 

What millions of Americans really need to see is Barack Obama – accompanied by a television crew - going on an odyssey to Hawaii, Kenya, Seattle, to meet with newspaper archivists, historians, state birth record officials, U.S. Immigration officials, Indonesian government record administrators, Jack Cashill, http://cashill.com/intellect_fraud/another_look.htm  the Registrar of Columbia University, the Registrar of Harvard University (to discuss the timeline of Barack Obama Senior’s time in the U.S.). And possibly Obama could take a DNA test to compare his genes with those of an Obama family member in Boston or living in a “ramshackle hut” in Kenya. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/2590614/Barac...  For added drama, Pres. Obama could sit next to George Hussein Onyango Obama in a Nairobi clinic as they are told the results of the DNA test. Now THAT’s a show even the talking heads at MSNBC couldn’t disparage, if only for the fact it is from the same parent company.

 

I know. This is just a thought exercise and it will never happen, even after Pres. Obama leaves the White House. But maybe we should be emailing the producers of NBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? to suggest it. Just think of the ratings NBC would get for the September 2012 Sweeps Week!

Back in the late 50s or early 60s, there was a show called, "This Is Your Life" hosted by Ralph Edwards I believe.  OMG I think I'm dating myself.  This would be perfect!  Imagine if all his former girlfriends and/or cronies came forward with "thrills up the leg" information!  LOL

It would be nice to have a truthful documentary done on his life. I would be willing to give money for that.

Sallianne, I hate to admit that I watched this show as a teenager! Makes me oh so old. LOL

It ran in the mid to late 60's.

Does anyone remember a show called TO TELL THE TRUTH????

Comment by Maureen Taylor on May 23, 2012 at 8:14am

From all the posts I read, everyone has put their "witty" thinking cap on today.  LOL

Nah. WDYTYA would find that Obama is exactly who he claims to be, either because

A) It's the truth. Or

B) NBC's been bought off.

Either way, it wouldn't change anything.
