I am assuming she was at home watching TV when some form of interruption occurred? Is it possible that an advertisement or commercial featuring Obama in some way (even as a background actor) either played during a break or even glitched during the show? Would she say it was real life or could it have been some kind of cartoon?

So it probably wasn't Obama because this happened in 1993. She drunkenly claimed it was Obama, but it was either A) a drunken rant/lie, B) An interruption of some kind (maybe the person looked like Obama and her memories screwed it up), B) Bill Clinton with a presidential address of some kind and she got him confused because she was telling this story in 2014 when Obama was still president.

Here are some theories I have

1. There was some sort of emergency broadcast or breaking news about Clinton or whoever this was.

2. Someone changed the channel from Winnie The Pooh to something else with Clinton on it & she misinterpreted this as an interruption

3. It actually was Obama & he actually did interrupt Winnie The Pooh to make people vote for him a decade in advance

I'm rooting for 3. PLACE BETZ NOW!!!

You may also want to make a post about this on r/RBI or r/ Tipofmytongue, they'd eat this up.

In 1993, Obama was involved in a law firm.

I wonder if RBI would entertain this.

The Kids' Block Blog is really good at documenting these sorts of interruptions. I found one post on there that mentions Bugs Bunny and Tweety, which aired at 11:00AM, being interrupted around the date mentioned. According to this, Winnie the Pooh aired at 8:00AM. If this person lived in the Pacific timezone, which is three hours behind, Winnie the Pooh would have actually been airing during the interruption.

It was mountain time.

Maybe she saw the interruption in question before she went to the hospital, or earlier during her stay.

oh, that makes much more sense then. also here are the links: www.ebay.com/itm/264962036242 and www.tvtango.com/listings/1993/02/20/code_three_1992

Thanks! I'll just purchase it once the seller returns.

On another note, I'm going to see if any presidential addresses happened on February 20th, or anything news worthy.

Well, did you purchase it? I mean it does say that the seller is away, but can't you purchase it and wait a bit for it to be shipped before someone else purchases it?

After it was verified that Winnie the Pooh was airing on ABC around that time, I didn't see the point, cuz that's what I wanted to know for sure. It's not like a TV Guide will have an interruption.

I'll have to look locally.

On February 20 1993, Bill Clinton held a children's town hall that was hosted by Peter Jennings of ABC News. It begin at 11:30 a.m, presumably Eastern Time. I'm pretty sure this is what your friend's mom saw.

Thats actually crazy, i didnt think there would be any concrete evidence that it was real tbh. Now we just need recordings, which might be hard to get itself.

I love pizza!

Yeah, that was eastern time. I looked at some listings on Newspapers.com from papers in the mountain time zone and it started at 9:30 there, after Land of the Lost. So it didn't air after an episode of Pooh, but it could have been an ad/promo or bumper, either before the town hall or during one of the commercial breaks. Or maybe there was a glitch that caused Pooh to briefly come on by mistake. Or maybe they worked cartoon characters into this? I'm not sure about that one though. I feel like it's most likely the first one.

I'm wondering if we should look into a promo or bumper now.

internet

Smart assery aside, I think combing through YouTube or internet archive is our best bet. Maybe looking through an archive of newspapers.

For context, this happened in New Mexico.

Also strongfox, don't be rude to your fellow users.
