Obama: Overhyped and Overexposed?
Is President Obama becoming the Drake of U.S. politics – flooding the excessively eager media with his image? Bill Maher seems to think so. Maher wrote in a June 17 editorial in the LA Times:
“President Obama should just join the cast of ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!’ It’s not that far fetched; 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! [...] 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.”
Do Maher and McCain have a point? Let’s take a look at his week in review. In the past seven days, Mr. President…
… proposed an overhaul of the U.S. financial system.
… wrote a super sweet (and super public) reflection on fatherhood.
… made the case for universal health care.
… got into trouble with PETA for his cruelty to the aforementioned fly.
… extended some benefits for federal employees’ same-sex partners.
… got hated on by the ghost of presidencies past, and by plain old racists.
Well, he’s definitely been busy. What do you think? Does he need to get back into the Oval Office and get to work, or is there no such thing as too much Obama?

oh yeah 1 more thing GOOD JOB MR PRESIDENT!!!!!!
It’s the media that’s making him out to be a big celebrity. I’m mean come on world 1st black president of the U.S (give the man a break). Where was Bush when the folks in New Orleans needed him for Katrina????? Talk about that bulls**t!!!!!! Mr President can’t even swat a fly, eat a hamburger, etc….. Yall asses need a life so yall can leave the president’s life along.
Ok all u hurb ass niggas talkin s**t about what B is doin need 2 shut da f**k up! 1 if ur dumb assis was in da house u wouldnt now what 2 do ul b sittin there lookin dumb in da face! Give da nigga time its been 5 mo let da man work, bush f**ked da us up in 8mo (911) ya bush had alot 2 do with that.. 8yrs later look at da bs we in. If yal hatein ass niggas dont like what B.O. is doin RUN 4 PREZ in 4 yrs u dumb ass so we can talk about how ur dumb ass dont know wtf u doin..
If this were Hillary would this conversation be taking place? First black man who is the president, no scandles to name, faithful to his wife; Hell America did not think that a black man as such even existed. Do your thing Mr. President!
Man ppl are haters! Because he’s black he’s acting like a celebrity. He should. He is a celebrity. A history making president but yall would rather see Bush playing golf during disasters or fly overhead when folks are loosing they’re homes. Grow up ppl.
1st off it’s the MEDIA that’s exposing him not himself trying to be exposed. 2nd he’s THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HE’S A VERY HUGE DEAL.
obama is a porch monkey
