Just find this interesting that his first televised interview is not on a major American t.v. network.

Should we expect anything less at this point .

I guess he did say he was going to give a speech in a major Arab city, but his first interview.

I have tried to look else where for more info but still looking. I picked up on this on a radio show, and have looked for it on all the other msm.

Forgive me if this has already been posted.

It's all politics. I fail to really see a conspiracy angle here.

www.huffingtonpost.com...

Ok after doing a search found lots of sources but they all say pretty much the same thing.

Would like to hear other input on peoples thoughts of this and why would you as the President of th U.S.ofA not address the people who elected you. Or is there something more to this? Maybe to thank the secret investors that helped him with the 700 million plus to campaign? and why hasn't the msm even reported this. It just doesn't feel right no matter what the message he tells is. His first public t.v. interview should be to the American public on one of Americas t.v. stations. Or does he find them bias as well?????

Maybe he owes them something. Maybe he is going back to his Muslim roots. I mean if you look at his familly history and ethnicity he is more Arabic than he is black. So he is our first Arabbic president??????

I just thought this may be some news. Maybe he was trained by the Russians in the 90's as reported to bring communism to the U.S. or he was a planted Muslim to bring the U.S. down from with in.

Also maybe because it snowed in the UAB. And global climat change has something to do with the election and he really is the ONE. The great ONE?

I find this very disrespectful.

That he is going to give his first interview with a foreign TV network. Well he keeps pulling stunts like this his media honeymoon will be over in no time. I guess he is going to have to learn the hard way.
