Jerry Springer: President Obama's 'excellent'
By PATRICK GAVIN | 8/27/10 10:47 AM EDT Updated: 8/27/10 1:52 PM EDT
Jerry Springer knows plenty about arguments and fights: He's presided over the raucous and controversial "Jerry Springer Show" since 1991. And he knows a thing or two about politics, as well, having once served as the mayor of Cincinnati.
He took his experience in both areas to Sean Hannity's program Thursday night, and the two duked it out over Barack Obama's presidency.
"I think Barack Obama has done a good job as president," Springer said. "In fact, I'd say even better than good. Do I agree with every single thing he's done? No. Is America perfect yet? Of course not. ... I must admit he's turned out to be an excellent president."
Hannity, obviously, didn't agree, knocking Obama over health care reform and spending. But Springer held his ground.
"He didn't make popular moves — he made courageous moves," he said. "And the fact of the matter is people can go to the banks today and have some sense that their money is still there. ... Plus a lot of people have health insurance now that didn't have health insurance before, God bless that."
"You're living a Jerry Springer fantasy world," Hannity said.
"Well, it's a nice place to be. I welcome you to my world," Springer said.
