What with the Barack Obama’s many appearance on TV shows, Michelle Obama’s fashion news, and now Bo the White House Dog’s recent appearance on the White House Lawn, it seems that the White House and it’s inhabitants are always in the news. I’m a little worried that Obama is turning out to be quite a showman. The news networks aren’t sparing him either – should the President be doing more important stuff ?
However is it really worrying ? After all the President is the ultimate cheer-leader. Would you rather have him mooning about the White House in a blue funk while the economy is in a slump ? The present financial crisis, such as it is, is a many-headed beast – i.e.; no one really has a definite solution. They do what they think is best, and there’s lots of pork in there too.
One must remember that Obama’s job is probably the hardest there is – how to keep your chin up. It does help that he is such a fine orator, but the pressure in undoubtably enormous. Some want baliouts, some don’t ,some want money spent, some don’t, but in the end, guess who’s getting the blame ? So when people tell me that they are worried that Obama is getting too much TV time, I say lighten up, give the man a break. If that’s all that you can find to criticize about him, he must really be doing his job.
