The decline of the American presidency

  He's everywhere. He's on the golf course numerous times for hours. He's at parties shlubbing with celebrities. He's in Chicago with the wifey for dinner. He's at a play in NYC with the wifey, traffic inconvenience be danged. He's yucking it up on David Letterman. 
   He's on The View. (HUH?) 
   He's on Youtube. He's on American Idol. He's on People magazine cover, et al. He's at ballgames. 
  He's on commercials advertising himself and his plans to control more and more of Americans' lives. 
  He is cheerfully unconcerned about citizen resistance, as if every American in their right mind would want the silver-tongued charmer in control of their heat, their health care and the shower heads.
  While he gains more control over aspect of our lives (surely he plans to stay around for more than four years; otherwise, what's the point of all that disastrous control?), and has Congress cede more control from the legislative branch to the executive branch in anticipation of losing control in the fall, he proceeds, frivolously diminishing the stature, gravitas and dignity of the office of the presidency of the United States. 
  If you can stand to watch this video, here's an example. 
  Siding with our enemies, disavowing our allies, willfully superceding the will of the people, now we have the embarrassment of having our president, president of the liberal United States (and not the rest), appearing on the gossipy daytime squall fest for mostly liberal women to discuss lord only knows what. 
  This is what it looks like. 
  Saccharine, cloying, mawkish, manipulative, completely unaware.
  This is the face of gravitas.
  This is the face of the presidency of the liberal United States.
  Will you watch to see if they tell him again how SEXY he is?

  3. In the past, I have always believed the presidency should be respected. I still do. It's just become very, very difficult when such a....person.....is president.
