This, coming from a big, big liberal. Even they are starting to notice his failure. But, here he is, ready to jet to Copenhagen to lobby for the Olympics - stay home and start governing.
The president's problem isn't that he is too visible; it's the lack of content in what he says when he keeps showing up on the tube. Obama can seem a mite too impressed with his own aura, as if his presence on the stage is the Answer.
I would argue with that first sentence. He is so overexposed, it is sickening. The man has the most gigantic ego I have ever seen, as the author here eludes to.

They are heavily salted with the words "I" and "my." (He used the former 11 times in the first few paragraphs of his address to the U.N. last week.)
He answered by telling them what his predecessor had failed to do. This was effective for his first month or two. Now it is starting to sound more like an excuse than an explanation.
You will find that a running theme is his speeches. I, I, I, me, me, me.
This article = epic fail for obama. Read it, digest it, look at the excellent examples from this liberal author.
The truth will set you free.
the world is starting to take note of what some of us saw even before he was elected. An empty suit, propped up by slogans and images.
But on the other hand I'm grateful he is helping the Rep. party and all people with other opinions to see what he really is about....
Obama is narcisistic person who thinks he can show the world how great he is by blaming others....
but he forget's one important thing. The longer he is doing that the more he shows he is big whiner and has no solutions, no ideas to solve the major issues other than blaming others...
A winner blames him self if he makes a mistake, a loser always blames others!
While I rarely support anything this man does, I DO think that it's a good idea to go lobby for the Olympics. The Olympics can bring a huge amount of money to a city and country, and this is something that we need. Especially in Chicago. When most other countries are lobbying for them, their leaders go. We should too.
I think Obama made the right decision this time.
On being overexposed, yeah, he's definitely overexposed. The Office of the President should be one that's held to a very high standard and respected. We're supposed to hear from them so we know what they're doing, but it's gotten to the point where you cannot turn on the TV and not see him. He's becoming a reality TV star, and not a President. It seems like he's in it for the fame, and not the country.
Good ideas shouldn't have to be SOLD to the American people. We're smart enough to figure out a good idea when we hear it. If you have to constantly be on TV pushing your agendas, that should be a sign to you that it's not a good idea. We're smarter than given credit for.
The president's problem isn't that he is too visible; it's the lack of content in what he says when he keeps showing up on the tube. Obama can seem a mite too impressed with his own aura, as if his presence on the stage is the Answer. There is, at times, a self-referential (even self-reverential) tone in his big speeches. They are heavily salted with the words "I" and "my." (He used the former 11 times in the first few paragraphs of his address to the U.N. last week.) Obama is a historic figure, but that is the beginning, not the end, of the story.

I live in Chicago, no thanks. Have it in San Antonio if you want it.
Plus, what did the "especially in Chicago" thing mean?
You have Iran developing Nukes, the world in a recession, N. Korea launching test missles into the pacific, afghanistan flaring up, recent foiled terrorist attacks here at home.... and Obama thinks the best way to spend his time is to take a vacation and lobby the IOC to let the GAMES happen here?
WBHO will be the call letters for his new TV station. All Obama, all the time. Please call your local cable company and demand it, so other stations can resume regular broadcasting.

I simply turn my TV to the Weather Channel when Obama comes on. I have learned a lot about weather since Obama took office but now wonder why there have been so many pregnant anchors at the Weather Channel? I find that this is a preferable mystery to ponder rather than to worry about why the Democrats think the health care system is now going broke but didn't believe Social Security was going broke when Bush was in office. Actually the mystery of health care, Social Security and Democrats is simple when one considers what American leftists want for America.
Now if someone can just tell me where the Weather Channel found meteorologists named Jennifer Lopez and Betty Davis. . . And why?

I mean Chicago's economy is in the tank and could use an economic boost. You can't deny that. Chicago is an awesome town. One of my favs to visit, but honestly, it could use a boost.
Yeah, we've got other problems around the world, but people keep p***ing and moaning about the economy. Here's a chance to really spark a community and it should be done.
He's not disappearing off the face of the Earth. AF1 has everything he needs to stay in touch and do his job. It's a good idea to try and get the games here. It would be great for Chicago.
I can't believe you made me defend Obama. You should lose rep points for that
I didn't see or hear about or of him all weekend.
Even the local news didn't mention him - (if they did, it was without picture or video of him).
Guess you must be watching for him.
Or was it the channel you were watching, did it's best to cover him 24/7.
