Yeah. I used to hate doing publicity for my show too. Always felt so forced.

    Aaaarghy Matey, Pirate Island has a new Tiger.

    I think Barak's more comfortable here than his wife. I guess being President you are by definition a part of a Reality TV Show. Camera's and Microphones follow your every move, outside of The House.

    And he's a family guy, too.

      My kids can recite the entire Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack from the Disneyland ride. Every now and again I'll hear, "Fire at will." "Ay, that'll show the bilge-rats" "Secure the rigging!" "Avast you scurvy scum". Hilarious.

      Anyway. It is a media vacation to promote tourism in Florida. So it is a publicity for the show.
