Gretchen Carlson Compares Her Job To Being President, Olbermann Names Her 'Worst Person' (VIDEO)

Keith Olbermann named "Fox and Friends" co-host Gretchen Carlson his "Worst Person In The World" Wednesday after Carlson said that her job was "just like" President Obama's.

On Wednesday morning's "Fox and Friends," Carlson was discussing whether Obama would fire General Stanley McChrystal for his controversial remarks in Rolling Stone.

She said that "this is what being president of the United States is all about. It's these tough, huge, monumental decisions."

Carlson then compared the role of the president to that of being a host on "Fox and Friends":

"It's just like our job...what's the role of an anchor during huge breaking news? You remember growing up? You'd tune to the television, and that one moment during the year, they would have to carry a story all along, It's the same thing as being the President of the United States."

In response, Olbermann seemed speechless for a moment, before naming Carlson "President Gretchen Carlson" and wondering, "so now Fox News is saying the President should read off a teleprompter?"

Carlson was also lampooned by Jon Stewart on Wednesday's "Daily Show."

Gretchen really . You Steve and Brian need to have more respect for the office and the job. All you guys do is criticize . I was a big Fox News fan until Mr. Obama became President. Now you guys are so bitter , the whole show is a big negative tirade. Not a good way to start your day.

Most of these comments call her dumb, but she's not.
She graduated with honors from Stanford, etc.
She plays dumb because Fox wants to appeal to Average Joe and Average Jane, the bulge in the Bell curve.

In her vastly limited understand­ing, I do think she meant this seriously. It shows how ignorant she really is. She is not even capable of doing the Presidency George W Bush style, which was basically just to phone it in and let Cheney run things.

It is sad someone with this seriously mentally deficit is given a position of importance­, but then again, this is FOX.

Fox is use to making up their own reality, so to their sheep viewers...­. Why not! After all, if Fox says so, it must be true.

It should really change it's name to The narcissism network.

Beck- All about him, Palin well it is always about her, Gretchen Carlson well that clip sums it all up.

She lives in some alternativ­e universe as Glenn Beck where they are each at the center of their own universe.

Sorry to say but Gretchen comes off as being a dumb blonde at times. She doesn't realize it becomes she can speak and put sentences together that are cohesive but not coherent.

Hard to believe this woman actually has a brain.....­..Jon Stewart exposed her a few months ago for faking "dumb"....­..
she was valedictor­ian of her high school class, graduated with honors from Stanford and studied at Oxford. And plays beautiful classical violin.
Why Fox encourages her to dumb down is beyond me........­.....she should be ashamed of herself for being part of the charade she's apparently told to play......­....

I saw the Jon Stewart expose. So why is she at Fox? She must have had plenty of options.
I doubt it's just the money. Maybe she believes in the cause.

Really Gretchen??­? All the POTUS has to do is to bleach his hair, keep his bleached blond roots colored and go blonder if another of your Aryan Sisterhood co-workers shows up lighter with lighter hair than his to satisfy the bosses and the Aryan Brothers? Really???

Gretchen Carlson: Every time she opens her mouth, dumb becomes plain dumber.

As Judge Judy says, "Beauty fades, dumb is forever."

She isn't dumb. She just plays dumb. Which I admit is pretty dumb.
