Tonight’s Top Topic: How would you grade the President’s first 100 days?
Currently President Obama has a 63% approval rating. That is the highest in over thirty years for the first 100 days. Since Jimmy Carter was president. The Fox channel has decided that they will not air the President’s 100 day press conference on Wednesday. Instead they will air American idol. Fox will alert viewers during the broadcast of American Idol that they can tune into Fox News channel and Fox Business Network to hear the President speak.
It was questioned if the President’s honeymoon was over. Morgan brought up there are many, many things he needs to tackle at this time. Fred said people would be happy if he just fixed the economy.
Fred gave the President a “C” while Morgan gave him an “A” for ambition.
Because of Hulk Hogan’s recent comments (read the earlier entry on here) that he totally understands O.J. Simpson, his wife Linda is using those comments to get money. Linda filed papers in court, seeking a flat fee of $24,000 and $8200 more per month so that she can move to California to get away from Hulk. She said she is afraid he will pull an O.J. on her. Morgan stated that Linda should not be afraid since she has plenty of proection in the chest area….

Gus from Project Halo brought Roo to the studio for the Pet of the week segment. Roo came from a home where he was bullied by two other dogs. Morgan brought up that black dogs are usually the first to be euthanized and the last to be adopted. Roo would be good with less dominant dogs. Roo is 2 years old and perfect for people with a fenced in yard or like to walk regularly.
Great News!!! Leona who was previously on the show has been adopted. She also changed her name to Hope. If you might be interested in adopting Roo or another dog get in touch with Project Halo.
The Top Topic tonight was Hulk Hogan’s comments that “I totally understand OJ.” Hulk Hogan is divorcing his wife Linda Bollea after 23 years of marriage. Linda, 48 is currently spending time with someone 30 years younger. In an interview with Rolling Stone Hogan is quoted as saying “I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody’s throat.” You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can’t go to anymore, you’re driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it.”
