Why doesn't Obama take his job seriously?

  Weasel Zippers: Obama attends 6 West Coast fundraisers, tapes episode of Oprah, attends 2 more fundraisers and then goes GOLFING.
  A great deal of ambivalence on this. On one hand, does it limit the damage by his not being in DC? Nah. Probably not, since someone else is obviously running the show.
  But it's pretty extraordinary that he seems to feel no compunction at all to even appear to be doing his job.
