Jerry Springer took on Sean Hannity over Obama, and the job he is doing so far as president.  Springer was booked on Sean Hannity's FOX program Thursday night.

The former Cincinnati Mayor is a fixture on GSN and host of the series "Baggage," Springer, and he is the long-running mediator of trashy people's lives on the "Jerry Springer Show."

Jerry took his feisty style to FOX network's barking pundit, who is no fan of the Democrats.

"I think Barack Obama has done a good job as president," Springer said. "In fact, I'd say even better than good. Do I agree with every single thing he's done? No. Is America perfect yet? Of course not. ... I must admit he's turned out to be an excellent president."

Hannity spit out his coffee and had a fit on the air. (slight exaggeration)

"He didn't make popular moves — he made courageous moves," Jerry told Sean. "And the fact of the matter is people can go to the banks today and have some sense that their money is still there."

He added, "Plus a lot of people have health insurance now that didn't have health insurance before, God bless that."

"You're living a Jerry Springer fantasy world," Hannity said.

"Well, it's a nice place to be. I welcome you to my world," Springer said.
