The President Will Pitch His Health Care Plan as the Sole Guest on Next Monday's 'Late Show'

TV network CBS says it would make the first visit ever by a sitting president to Letterman's "Late Show." Obama has appeared on Letterman's show five times before, the last during the campaign in September 2008.
The president is scheduled to visit Sunday morning talk shows this weekend on ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN. That's a highly unusual schedule, even for a president eager to get his message across throughout the media.
Obama will be the sole guest on Monday's "Late Show."

- I think it is cool he is getting out there and letting himself be seen. The Health care plan does not matter much to me. We just need to fine these big corperations that try to avoid giving health care. Or the works just need to join a union. For example Wal Mart and Barnes & Noble workers just need to work off their jobs until they can have a union. Shut them down !

- When is this idiot going to get to work instead of trying to be a celebrity? As of his seven-month in office mark in August, he had done 114 interviews, compared to 37 by former President George W. Bush and 41 by former president Bill Clinton at a similar point in their administrations.
