VIDEO: President Bush Mocks Own Unpopularity on Deal or No Deal Tuesday April 22, 2008
President Bush made a rare appearance, via satellite, on NBC's Deal or No Deal Monday to wish good luck to a contestant on the show who served in Iraq.
Bush thanked the contestant, Army Captain Joseph Kobes, for his "courageous service in Iraq" (watch above).
The president made light of his unpopularity, noting, "I'm thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days."
He also joked that host Howie Mandel could help with the federal budget.
"Howie, I don't know if you're free to come to Washington anytime soon but I have to reach an agreement with Congress on the federal budget," Bush said. "How'd you like to host a $3 trillion dollar Deal or No Deal?"
Kobes won $26,000 during the program.
