More of Me!

Me, myself and I

Reacting to the astonishing poll numbers regarding the distrust Americans feel toward government, President Obama said the following in an interview with George Stephanopoulos:

If there's one thing that I regret this year is that we were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are and why we have to make sure those institutions are matching up with those values.

This is really unbelievable. How many interviews has this president given over the past year or so? I've lost count. He is ubiquitous. With the exception of Fox News, he cannot be avoided. It seems like every week he's kibitzing with Stephanopoulos about every aspect of life. I even caught him calling shots court-side during the Final Four. His omnipresence is the problem. Only a narcissus like this man would conclude that, after so many appearances on so many venues, Americans would need to hear and see more of him.

On top of that, there is a sickening condescension exuding from Obama, who is basically stating that the common corn pones are simply too blockheaded to take to his spotless agenda with élan.
