Enough with the Obamathon

President Obama should just join the cast of "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" It's not that farfetched; he's been on everything else.

I'm still a fan, but there's a fine line between being transparent and being overexposed. Every time you turn on the TV, there's Obama. He's getting a puppy! He's eating a cheeseburger with Joe Biden! He's taking the wife to Broadway and Paris -- this is the best season of "The Bachelor" yet!

I get it: You love being on TV. I love my bong, but I take it out of my mouth every once in a while. The other day, I caught myself saying to a friend, "Don't tell me if he's fixed the economy yet, I'm Tivo-ing it."

Remember during the campaign when John McCain attacked Obama for acting like a celebrity and we all laughed at the grumpy old shellshocked fool? Well, it turns out he was right. Sorry, senator. I'm sending a nice gift basket of high-fiber muffins your way.

Speaking of which, if you can't beat Republicans now, when they're so down they take orders from Rush Limbaugh, then when? The way to get renewed for your reality show that you love so much is to act boldly now.

Obama needs to start putting it on the line in fights against the banks, the energy companies and the healthcare industry. I never thought I'd say this, but he needs to be more like George W. Bush. Bush was all about, "You're with us or against us."

Obama's more like, "You're either with us, or you obviously need to see another picture of this adorable puppy!"

...

Quote:

In conclusion, Bush was a jerk, but he never cared about being seen having a burger with Dick Cheney. He picked up the phone in the White House and said, "I'm the president, bring me a burger." And they'd say, "Sir, this is NORAD. Would you please stop ordering burgers with the red phone?"

I'm glad that Obama is president, but the "Audacity of Hope" part is over. Right now, I'm hoping for a little more audacity.

This thread is a good reason to watch Fox Nation. At least you don't get 24/7 "news" about how down to earth and great Obama is.

Makes me glad that I typically dont watch tv that much anymore.

I don't watch television, but if I have to go to the supermarket and see one more Obama "commemorative issue," I'm going to scream. They're just becoming downright creepy now.

And I voted for the guy.

There's one sentence I especially like:

I don't get it.

Are other cities streets and supermarkets littered with Obama's memorabilia? Because mine (which is one of the most important areas in the United States, btw) does not.

Am I just not looking in the right place? Did I miss the coupon?

I'd say you're not looking in the right place. I just came back from the local CVS and right by the cashier was yet another magazine with Michelle on the front cover.
