Michael Smerconish, shown in a 2004 image, will interview President Obama from the White House on his radio show. Smerconish, who supported Obama after years of voting Republican, will take listenersÂ’ calls. (CHUCK KENNEDY)
Until reading the above caption I did not know this man Smerconish voted for Obama, which might explain why I no longer hear him filling in for Rush as he used to do from time to time....and being a Philadelphia radio host I haven't heard the guy for a while, so I'm a little unsure where he's coming from these days ideologically
This is actually going on as I type and listen via Fox of coarse as no other channels would be covering this somewhat monumental occasion (actually meeting and sitting down with a so called extremist right wing talker like he) where he actually just might be asked some serious questions and be required to give some serious answers to these problems he's slightly inherited and mostly created up to this point in my opinion and millions of others
Michael Smerconish to interview Obama in the White House
latimes.com: "Reporting from Washington - In a bid to confront criticism of his healthcare overhaul, President Obama has invited conservative talk-radio host Michael Smerconish to do his show from the White House.
The president will appear from 1:10 to 1:30 p.m. Eastern time today, with some cable networks expected to carry the program live and the audience likely to pepper him with pointed questions.
'There has been a lot of misinformation that's been spread, particularly in conservative circles, about this plan,' said Joshua Earnest, a White House spokesman. 'It's an opportunity to set the record straight, and hopefully he'll have an opportunity to confront that misinformation head-on.'
The White House said it had a standing invitation to appear on Smerconish's show, and decided to accept.
Smerconish, 47, had consistently voted Republican in presidential races until last year, when he endorsed Obama. He favors the death penalty and a tough stance on terrorism, but said he also supported abortion rights and didn't care 'if two guys hook up.'
Asked who tends to listen to his nationally syndicated show out of Philadelphia, Smerconish responded in an e-mail: 'Buxom women and high-income men.' More seriously, he added: 'I'd like to think I attract a mixed lot reflective" more
