THEY SAY IRISH voters are apathetic. And maybe they’re right.

But yesterday, Barack Obama held a live televised press conference to address an ongoing scandal within a major branch of the US government.

His speech, which was eagerly awaited by the media, went out across the nation.

There was just one thing. It interrupted The Price Is Right.

And this interrupted the mid-morning routines of thousands of Americans. They were NOT HAPPY.

Is Obama really talking through the beginning of the price is right? Priorities America...

If Obama takes up one more minute of my price is right, I'm going to throw the remote at my tv.

Obama's press conference interrupting the price is right today is really going to hurt his chances for a 3rd term.
