Is there any other possible explanation for the events of this week? First, on Saturday, the president and the First Lady caught a performance of Broadway’s Tony-nominated Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. On Monday, photos emerged of Obama shaking hands with Spock-playing Star Trek star Zachary Quinto. This morning, we learn he’s invited Britain’s Got Talent loser Susan Boyle to sing at the White House. Also, last night, he was on Conan in a pretaped comedy bit with Brian Williams (shot during the president’s prime-time NBC special). Doesn’t this guy have a bankrupt, at-war nation of swine-flu sufferers to worry about? Click for video of the Conan thing.
