President Bush appears on 'Deal or No Deal'

April 18, 2008Recommend (1)


FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A presidential thank-you is part of the deal for a contestant on NBC's game
show, ''Deal or No Deal,'' when President Bush makes a surprise appearance.

The episode, airing Monday, features Capt. Joseph Kobes, as he attempts to
win enough cash to pay off his parents' home. But the dealmaking is briefly
halted for Kobes, a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient who has served in
Iraq three times. Bush surprises him by appearing on a screen to express
gratitude for his service and wish him luck in the game.


Bush's message was taped at the White House.

The game of odds, hosted by Howie Mandel, calls for a contestant to predict
the amount of cash contained in any of 26 sealed briefcases. The top prize
for guessing correctly is $1 million.

No details were released on how Kobes, an Army transportation officer from
Sumner, Wash., fared in his quest for the jackpot.

Sorry I missed it. Flavor Of Love was on at the same time. That was much more important.

So why can't he take the time out for the hundred thousand or so others that have returned home in pieces?

What "100,000 or so others, that have returned home in pieces? You mean terrorists? Screw them. Let their own presidents get on a game show. They could call it, "Fatwa Or No Fatwa."

No, Jafar's talking about our troops who come home wounded. Bush should be taking the time to make their situation better.

This is priceless, Bush does a nice thing for a soldier and gets trashed as not doing enough. You have to really hate someone to try and make every action into a basis for ridicule.

The "100,000 or so others" going home in pieces cannot be American.

I can't imagine being so full of rage and hatred.

At least Bush praises the soldiers and recogizes their heroism.

Not like democrats slamming our troops and not admitting any progress we make in Iraq.

I admire Bush for appearing on a game show that even HE would have a shot at winning. He's a lock for Battle of the Jaywalking All-Stars.
