I'm pretty sure Obama spends more time at photshoots and T.V. shows than he does in the White House.
The guy is a joke without his teleprompter, and hands out DVD's as gifts to important allied leaders.

i once heard an obama supporter say "he is a rockstar, or like will smith" ...that is not verbatim, but it was very similar to that. i think it was hillary who handed out the DVDs though, not sure...

I agree... The guy is spending way to much time picking NCAA brackets and bullshitting on television shows... This is the toughest job in the world right now... Let's get to work! The inauguration is over...

Don't even get me going on his "stimulus" package...

In circumstances like this, I always turn to a quote made by Rodney (I ran from the police, got the living crap beaten out of me by the LAPD, but I was thankful it was captured on video) King:

Why can't we all just get along?

And those lovely DVDs given to the British PM were, of course, formatted for North America only - Gordon Brown couldn't even watch them when he got back to 10 Downing Street. Good grief, it's amateur hour at the White House.

President Obama's teleprompter has its own blog ... very funny stuff.

For me, it's not so much the guy, instead it's the impact to our wallets (poor, middleclass, and rich) down the line. It's a good thing I bought all of my mods now... At some point we will all be taxed to death paying for the (de)stimulus package, budget, bailouts, and the rest of the Pelosi wish list. There will be a revolt, and our next set of mods will be mad-max grill mounted machine guns, spikes on the tires, and extra armor.

I watched it live, thought it was hilarious. People make those kinds of jokes all the time, "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" sound familiar?

How about this gem from GW Bush, "we're going to catch these terrorists and bring them to justice! ....Now watch this drive"

Nobody remembers Bush was on golf trips all the time? In reality the President is more of a spokesman than anything, there's enough people employed who are making things happen that he just has to oversee them. For instance, "Obama's bailout package" is actually Congresses bailout package. Remember the Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches? President doesn't have absolute control, checks and balances are in place to keep that from happening, we can either blame everyone or blame no one.

Just my $.02
