‘Coast to Coast AM’ Host Mulls White House Bid
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 4:48 pm
If circumstances have put you in a car on a long drive in the very, very early morning, you’ve probably heard “Coast to Coast AM” host George Noory dish with guests about extraterrestrial life, time travel and ghosts. WorldNetDaily grabs a scoop: Noory wants to run for president.
WND asked Noory how he could be a serious candidate for president when “Coast to Coast AM” has been known for its emphasis on UFOs, ancient Egypt and the supernatural.
“The current crop of political candidates looks out of touch, saying nothing new or genuine. By 2012 people are going to be saying, ‘We cannot continue down the path we have been going as it will lead us only back to the familiar dead end we now see in Congress and the White House,’” he said.
Will that fly in a debate?
Conspiracy shows have never wanted for content, but the Obama presidency has provided particularly strong material — Jeff Rense, another late-night weirdness expert, has probably done more interviews with Obama conspiracy theorists than anyone else.

Would we finally know the truth about flying saucers, 9/11, ghosts, psychic powers, and Hitler? The History Channel would be out of business, and half of SyPhy!

I've listened to this program a couple of times late at night. If you were a regular listener of this show and used it as your sole news source, you would think that the most pressing issue in the world right now is the existence of chupacabras.

One hopes that he will ask Orly Taitz to be his Attorney General should he sweep to glorious victory.

So, the current crop of political candidates are out of touch according to him but he spends most of his professional life discussing UFO's and the supernatural? I'd hate to think what he considers in touch! Yikes

The leadership of the various groups who (mistakenly) voted for and funded the campaign of Prez Obama need to be held accountable. It is not Prez Obama's fault that he is in the pocket of the big money crooks…he would not be in the Oval Office if not for the fools like us who voted for his unworthy self.
Time to not be fooled again…lest there be shame on US.
Accountability is necessary in order to hold people to specific goals and outcomes.
It is clear that Prez Obama is a “trojan horse.” Prez Obama is a gifted orator.
That is about all that he is.
He can talk the talk. He cannot/will not/is too incompetent to…WALK THE WALK.
It is high time for the leadership of various interests to QUICKLY identify a viable candidate who is serious and who means business.
Campaigns are expensive. Campaigns cost MILLIONS of dollars.
Competent leadership will act QUICKLY.
