The nation's Emergency Alert System is getting a makeover. In place of the familiar "duck call" warbling sound and calming tones of an anonymous announcer will be ... a message from the President of the United States.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Obamavision!
Everybody has heard the national Emergency Alert System (EAS). Those familiar "duck calls" that reassure listeners "THIS is a test… this is ONLY a test…"
The FCC is planning an upgrade to the tests by including presidential announcements in the system.
"The primary goal is to provide the President with a mechanism to communicate with the American public during times of national emergency."
Because what every American needs to hear in our hour of trial is the reassuring voice of Dear Leader.
Yeah, that's exactly what we need.

Bob Belvedere likens Obamavision to an episode of The Outer Limits.
UPDATE 09 Feb 2011 16:40:
Classic Liberal has much more info on how Obamavision will work.
According to his sources the FCC has mandated the installation of a hard-wired override box at every radio and TV transmitter in America. At the activation of EAS the Obamavision signal will replace every broadcast nationwide. And it can't be switched off.
Truly scary stuff.
