Thank Al Pacino for Pretty Woman
Mad Men: 'Chevy Is Spelled Wrong!'
Did you wake up from a dead sleep at 3AM this morning, unsure why? That was the sound of Deadline Hollywood publishing a tale straight from the Can't Make This Stuff Up Department -- President Barack Obama will appear on Discovery Channel's 'Mythbusters' on Dec. 8."In the episode, 'Archimedes Solar Ray,' Obama challenges hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman to prove the ancient Greek myth that scientist and polymath Archimedes set fire to an invading Roman fleet using only mirrors and the reflected rays of the sun," Deadline writes.
The White House confirmed the report to the Associated Press. "Obama has already taped his appearance," the AP writes. "Discovery said that episode will consider whether Greek scientist Archimedes set fire to an invading Roman fleet using only mirrors and the reflected rays of the sun."

Are you serious? The country is going down the tubes, France is being threatened by terrorist but our great leader is appearing on mythbusters. He makes me sick everytime I read about him. Basketball, hiring singers to amuse his kids, sending his wife and daughter on 200,000 dollar vacations, fake burger runs and myth busters. Sorry but I have to go puke now........

OK, go ahead. Elect your next George W. Then after HE screws everything up (for all but the rich and already powerful) you can ONCE AGAIN blame everything on the new guy. If you continue to listen to Rush/Beck/et.al. you will have no choice because you will have no NEWS only fantasy on which to base your conclusions. And we can keep going that way until we erupt into civil war or just slip down the tubes altogether. Do you not think the whole world is watching our folly? Some are hoping for either one as either one would tip the power balance for the whole world. So go ahead. Keep it up. You are drowning us all in your stupidity.
Obama is about as low as a piece of Chit can go

Myth or not......Does the Buck actually stop there or is it repelled (or ignored)before it reaches him?

Does this guy ever work on his presidential duties for the good of the country? He is either campaigning, hosting the white house concert and dance series, or appearing on TV! Someone should tell him he should be busy at work trying to figure out policy's that will help create jobs, so Americans can get to work. Don't he know or care there is a recession out there, and people are losing everything they worked their whole lives for. I dont think he understands what his real job is..

He could be golfing, as Dubya did shortly after 9-11 (when not chasing screen time at Ground Zero) ... or reading "My Pet Goat" to a group of schoolchildren (the most challenging text Dubya had tackled since being "legacied" through Yale?)
i wish for once he would get on TV and act like a president

Shouldn't he and most of the Congress be on the show Biggest loosers and then just run them till they all drop dead. Then America would win as we got rid of all that dead weight called politicians

Maybe Barry O can stand in for Buster , the resident crash test dummy ? Or,as the Archimedes Fire Myth was already debunked 4 years ago, maybe Who'sane ? Outtatoucha will rewrite history ?
Mythbusters ratings must be slipping.....

yes, they'll turn the power of the sun on to the ships sails and since Sarah Palin will be on the ship, the hot air alone will ignite

He reminds me of Nero minus the Fiddle!

It's no myth that Obsama thinks he's god.

God forbid that a President should promote education. That goes against everything the Tea Party types hold dear (or should I say "deer"?). Obama has failed ... to fix eight years of Bush-and-Cheney messes ... with Republicans fighting every measure until the choice is to water it down or give up on it. Yup, Republicans can be proud that the economy is still in the septic tank and millions will still have minimal access to health care. They only want to be happy, and if ignorance is bliss, they must be ecstatic.

Stop trying to be a hollywood star,we have enough already. You have shamed the presidency by appearing on useless reality shows. Its about time you start acting and representing yourself as the President of this country rather than protaying yourself as either a Paris HIlton or Jersey Shore wannabe.

Mythbusters should debunk Obama birth certificate, also his citizenship and claiming to be Christian. Not to mention his real name as Barry Sortoro per adoption. How many fraud mistakes can they find. I found a bunch.

A Christian wouldn't have looked for them.
The myth is where did all the trillions of dollars he wasted really go.
