The Middle East is in chaos, Americans are murdered, and the economy continues to crumble, and Obama is going on The View after his fun time with Letterman. You ever get this feeling that the problems facing America just aren’t that interesting to Obama? I felt that way early on when everyone was complaining about unemployment and Obama responded by… working on a big new health care scheme. I mean, there’s no interesting solution to employment as it will always goes up and down, but Obama could create a big new government program that could change things forever! It’s the same with our problems in the Middle East — Obama can’t make a lasting legacy out of handling those, so they’re not of much concern to him. Because that’s the way it is with the left: They want to create vast new things that fundamentally transform our country and earns them a place in the history books. Solving day to day problems just isn’t a part of that. So why worry about little things like debt and jobs when he can go on friendly TV shows and be loved?
We really should consider changing the presidency to the way I describe it in my book. He should be this guy we never see or hear from except when we have enemies to crush. For some reason we have it in our head that the president is the leader of the country when his real function is closer to janitor than CEO. He’s just supposed to handle the problems we don’t have time for while we get about transforming this country and making it great. And for that job, we don’t need to see him on TV at all.
It may be a sign of how bad things are – but I find myself wanting things like in the movie Idiocracy. A president like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Commacho, a pro-wrestler/porn star who goes on tv and shouts down his enemies, and in the background, this guy, Not Sure, who is the smartest man alive, and is gonna solve all of our problems in just one week.
Or maybe, I just want to see Obama get ‘Rehabilitated’.
Mike Judge should make more movies that don’t suck.
Obama is going to guest star on Modern Family as the hip, gay, Rastafarian stoner who moves in down the block. He will then guest star on Private Practice as a hip, gay, Kenyan stoner who needs to get a pilonidal cyst drained. This will be followed by a guest appearance on Law & Order SVU as a hip, gay city commisioner from Harlem who was infected with AIDS after a one-night stand with a serial killer.
“You ever get this feeling that the problems facing America just aren’t that interesting to Obama?”
No. I no longer give him the benefit of the doubt. I am convinced that the problems facing America are exactly what Obama intends.

On the other hand, the more time Obama spends acting like a celebrity, the less time he spends acting like a president.
What if Obama is very interested in our problems, but he thinks that the solution to unemployment is Obamacare, and the solution to Middle East chaos and murdered Americans is going on Letterman and the View? Is that a racist question?
When you only have redistribution, favoritism & skimming…….
Everything looks like an opportunity for redistribution, favoritism & skimming…….
or for golf
or for talk shows
or for fundraising
or bowing
or eating a dog.
William F. Buckley Jr. once made a great argument that a President should never draw attention to himself or be heard from that often.
Jimmy,
Exactly. I couldn’t have been the first person to conclude this. That’s what made Coolidge so great.
