Sirius XM creates channel dedicated to Obama's first 100 days in office

What a waste of bandwidth

Definitely a substitute for MLB!!!! Thank you Sirius!!!!

You have got to be kidding me. I am speechless. Wait, is it April 1st?

"This unique broadcast will explore every side of the Obama story"

Except, of course, from the POV of the 65% of Americans who don't "strongly approve" of SXM's new messiah.

We get a special channel for this, when we no longer have special channels for just about any other reason. In-freaking-credible.

aww kyw are you a bitter republican still upset about getting your ass handed to you in the last election?

I'm not a huge obama fan, but I love seeing the conservatives cry and whine because they didnt get their way.

very entertaining.

I think Obama is doing a fine job of cleaning up the gigantic mess that W left behind.

I can't wait to tune in to Sirius 113 tomorrow!

Im laughin at how you're using that rasmussen poll to imply that 65% of voters disapprove of obama.

here are some things you left out:

-- Thirty-five perecent (35%) Strongly Approve while 31% Strongly Disapprove of his performance as president.

-- Forty-nine percent (49%) say the president is doing a good or excellent job on the economy. Thirty-four percent (34%) say he is doing a poor job.

-- On national security issues, 50% say the president is doing a good or excellent job while 31% say his performance is poor.

-- Fifty-four percent (54%) say he is a good or excellent leader.

-- Forty-one percent (41%) say Obama’s more ethical than most politicians. Another 27% say he’s about as ethical as his political peers.

"Overall, 55% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance so far. Forty-three percent (43%) disapprove."

Waste of a channel. Where's Cinemagic on Sirius?

BTW, Bush had a higher approval rating in his first 100 days and that was before 9/11 (when his approval ratings went through the roof).

ABC News/Washington Post Poll. April 19-22 2001. N=1,079 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. LV = likely voters.

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush has handled his job as president?"
App / Dis / Unsure
63 / 32 / 5

I support Obama.

Nonetheless, are you shitting me?

OK, regardless of politics; this is exactly why I no longer have any faith in SiriXM management to do anything meaningful for it's remaining subscribers. My dog could come up with better programming ideas......

We can't have Boombox or a decent Backspin channel, but we get this?

This is taking the single artist channel idea a little far Siri. I guess they are trying to justify keeping POTUS around. That channel has served its purpose, now clear the bandwidth for something people actually want.

WTF has he done in the past 100 days??? He reads beautifully from a teleprompter, has spent billions of dollars and mortgaged the future of the country with the largest govermnent spending package in the history of the world, buddied up with communist dictators, appeared on Leno and insulted handicapped people,

What has he done to improve the country??? You can make arguments about down the road this stimulus coming to fruition and making the country prosperous (doubtful, but i'll reserve judgement for a later date) but no one w/ a brain can say it has taken effect in the first 100 days.

Why the free pass from the media on this guy?

I don't hate him (i'm an independent moderate) but jesus h christ where's the challenging from the media to keep this guy honest for the good of the country/world?

Frankly, Obama's made plenty of signficant gaffes that W would've been crucified for because he was George W. Bush.

Has he even done anything in his first 100 days?!
I haven't seen any "Change"

Bitch bitch bitch. Some of you guys cry way to much. If your sick of this stuff then CANCEL. If not then shut the F*CK up and wash your p*ssys.

First off it isn't Sirius's fault you don't have MLB it is MLB's fault. I think this is a dumb idea though, but to each his own.

yawn..... wake me when its over................ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It truly is a slobbering love a affair! He can do no wrong. It is amazing how those assholes pat each other on the back for everything. I am glad XM/Sirius no longer gets money from me! As far as I am concerned XM was great at one time, and is now under censorship.

This is the worst decades channel ever.

Why not just do this on POTUS for three straight days.

Idiots. He's just a man. He hasn't done anything in the last 100 days.

It's a waste of precious bandwidth that could be otherwise used for more innovative wacky Howard Stern-type morning zoo fart joke-based radio.

This is the kind of crap we get when competition goes away. Still think the merger was a good idea?!?

Wow, now Orbitcast is a political blog? Please people, go watch/listen to FOX if you want a decent handjob.

Weird.

Love Obama or hate Obama, are you really going to sit around and listen to replays of all the same political crap you spend the rest of your life running like hell from?

I would rather them stick a microphone on Obama's dog and make a channel out of that if they really have to cash on Obama mania. It'd be more fun listening to a dog bark, eat, take a dump, and chase squirrels.

this will be a one minute loop of all the things he has done so far...
dont ask me what they will do with the other 50 seconds!

thank god howard allowed us to have a minority president that is almost as popular as him.howard has two channels dedicated to him,obama only has one.thats the way it should be,howard is the real messiah

What a waste. Doesn't surprise me though.... more worshipping of the Obamarxssiah even though he has done absolutely nothing meritorious during his first 100 days. All Heil Comrade Hussein.

I don't see how anyone can say Obama has not done anything in 100 days. He's gotten a stimulus plan passed, expanded child health care, been instrumental in the ongoing development of workable plans to save GM and Chrysler, provided relief to homeowners with trouble paying their mortgages, and greatly increased the prestige of the United States in the eyes of the world by re-affirming some of our most basic, essential values -- values tens of thousands of Americans have died to defend -- such as the condemnation of torture.

You may not agree with what he's done, and that's fine, but he's done quite a bit.

For the umpteenth time, here is why you Republicans lost. You picked an old, crotchety, PISS POOR candidate in John McCain over the better suited Mit Ronmey and Mike Huckabee. This was the first sign you guys weren't serious. Even Ron Paul would have been better...

You basically wanted the Republican to win because he CLAIMED to be a Republican. And you throw in the dizzy bimbo on top of it. What were you thinking??? Obama is YOUR FAULT AND YOUR FAULT ALONE!!!

I'm no Democrat but I voted for Obama because I was PISSED over the piss poor selection of candidates. And unlike you sore losers, I do hope he does well. It'll be worth a few extra tax dollars to get the country back on track.

In the mean time, I hope you learned your lesson...

This last election was the perfect opportunity to have a bona fide 3rd party. 2 candidates is hardly a choice. 1 guy was old and maybe past his prime and the other guy hasn't had a real job outside politics in his entire life. In the end 2 career politicians that DO NOT know the real value of a dollar.

All I can say is I hope that POTUS will feature Chris Matthews,Keith Olberman,and live broadcast of "Morning Joe". That's the best 90 minutes of morning TV & news. You get views from every angle and Mica is easy on the eye!!!

Plus she does a great job.

Brains & looks!!!!!!!!!!
