Obama's sitcom to debut tonight

So tonight is the night where Obama, Biden, and David Axelrod finally unveil the sitcom pilot they've been working on for months to the American public. It's sort of Sanford & Son meets the West Wing. Joe Biden plays the crotchety old White House landlord.

He's decided to spend an estimated $3 million to put this little program on CBS, NBC, MSNBC, BET, TVOne, Univision and Fox, causing Fox to cancel it's own World Series pre-game. ABC decided not to accept money to show the infomercial, because there's some shows you just don't move for a bundle of cash from the next President and Eli Stone is one of those shows. As for the rest of the program, after Obama meets the wacky next door neighbors of the White House there will be
...strings, flags, presidential imagery and some Americana filmed by Davis Guggenheim. Obama at the top of the half hour program and at the bottom of the show talking about his agenda. However the rest of the time you might see other people, like a Warren Buffett or a Colin Powell, and other people the Obama campaign calls "validators" to give testimony on why Americans should vote for Obama.
Analysts are unsure if this move will have any real effect, or if Obama just should have taken $3 million, piled it up and set it on fire while John McCain was forced to watch. Both have the same desired result: a money themed "fuck you" to a destitute McCain campaign.
