President Obama: They're not watching 'Real Housewives'!

DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! President Obama says young Americans need to stop "hangin' out" and start doing their homework and stop watching "Real Housewives" as he addressed the National Urban League on Wednesday. "America says, 'we will give you opportunity, but you've got to earn your success,'" President Obama said in an address to a New Orleans crowd. Going off script he added, "You're competing against young people in Beijing and Bangalore," he continued. "You know, they're not hangin' out. They're not gettin' over. They're not playin' video games. They're not watching 'Real Housewives.' I'm just saying, it's a two-way street. You've got to earn success."
"That wasn't in my prepared remarks," he quickly added to laughs and cheers. "But I'm just saying."

Listen to Andy Cohen's NPR interview, 'We don't cast wallflowers'


"My mouth has been my greatest asset and also my biggest Achilles' heel," he says. Cohen says his housewives may come from different cities, but one thing remains the same. "We don't cast wallflowers, to put it mildly."

What's the appeal of the "housewives"? "I would say it's anthropology of the rich," Cohen theorizes. "I remember one of the first reviews in TheReal Housewives of Orange County, which was the first out of the gate. They said someday people will look at this and say: 'Oh, this is how a certain group of nouveau-riche women lived at this time in America.' "Is Bravo "the gay channel"? At a press conference a few months ago, Cohen tried to straighten everyone out about that. "People always ask me if Bravo is gay," he said, "and I always say I think Bravo is bi, because I think Bravo is open enough to go home with whoever is most attractive at the end of the night."
