Liberal Rapture

After releasing his all important picks for the final four, a sitting President is going on a chat show tonight.

I hesitated to call him tacky after the "give the blind British PM incorrectly formatted DVDs as a gift" moment - but it seemed like the only useful word.

A sitting U.S. President going on a late night chat show in which he will follow a comedy monologue is actually embarrassing to me. It is degrading to all of us and the office he holds. It is tacky.

I believe there is a real pathological narcissism problem with this President that might cause us true harm if he can't get over it. What is he doing going on the Tonight Show with the economy in crisis? Even his "blame me" moments are supremely self involved. He never claims any responsibility. He does get attention and a moment of "look how honest and upfront I am." Which is, of course, not true at all. ( We now know the AIG bonuses had everything to do with Obama's team. He was not up front in the least.)

For a sitting POTUS to go on Leno - and I have no problem with Leno - is just tacky.

No "Brown" nose here.

I really can't get my mind around President Sunshine and the First "Lady"'s neanderthal behaviour toward the U.K.'s Prime Minster and his wife. Read N.Q. for an accounting of the re-gifted gifts the Obamas apparently threw at on the Browns on the fly. By all accounts Brown is a short timer in his job...but it is worth remembering that on State visits it is the office that gets respect, not the holder of the office.

Few seems to have noticed something about the Obamas that seems evident to me: They are tacky. Come January 2013, the new tenant of the White house will have some scrubbing to do. That said, whatever BHO thinks of Britain, they are our true blue allies - BFFs - as the Obama Kidz would say - treating any British Prime Minster rudely is stupid and unwise.

There is more to this story...
