Tonight, Pres Obama will deliver The State of the Union Address. However, it appears that BO has been president a lot longer than 30 days.
Have you ever seen such a saturated president?
His face is here and there. He is a rock star. He is everywhere.
"Today's president is a constitutional monstrosity: a national talk-show host with nuclear weapons.
When the president dominates the airwaves, promising to cure all manner of economic and social ills, that leads the public to expect a presidential rescue plan for anything that ails the body politic.
The predictable result is an executive branch that rides roughshod over congressional prerogatives.
The mortgage bailout Obama announced last week is a case in point, since the bulk of the plan, which has enormous repercussions for the U.S. economy, is being enacted without any action by Congress.
A less vocal, less omnipresent president might help us right the constitutional balance of powers.
Moreover, it's not clear that all this speechifying is doing the president himself much good.
After Obama announced his housing plan, one headline writer put it this way: "Obama Speaks, Market Listens, Sells Off."
When there's no escape from our national talk-show host-when he appears constantly above every gym treadmill-is it any wonder that we typically want his show cancelled just a few seasons in?
Is it any wonder we get sick of him?"
Slow down Mr. President.
Take a little time off. You may be better off if we didn't hear from you every other second!
