Back to reality

Politico has an interesting story today on 7 stories President Obama doesn't want you to know. You can read it all here but below is an example that I agree with wholeheartedly:

He’s in love with the man in the mirror

No one becomes president without a fair share of what the French call amour propre. Does Obama have more than his share of self-regard?

It’s a common theme of Washington buzz that Obama is over-exposed. He gives interviews on his sports obsessions to ESPN, cracks wise with Leno and Letterman, discusses his fitness with Men’s Health, discusses his marriage in a joint interview with first lady Michelle Obama for The New York Times. A photo the other day caught him leaving the White House clutching a copy of GQ featuring himself.

White House aides say making Obama widely available is the right strategy for communicating with Americans in an era of highly fragmented media.

But, as the novelty of a new president wears off, the Obama cult of personality risks coming off as mere vanity unless it is harnessed to tangible achievements.

We're at the point now that you can't even watch an NFL game without seeing him. Have you see the Play 60 commercial with him playing football with kids at the White House? Give it a rest Mr. President.
