Celebrity-in-Chief
Does the president have to be on every station all the time. Obviously, he dominates the news channels and the various C-Spans. I have already commented to how frequently he’s on ESPN (you can read my thoughts here). Tonight, he’s throwing out the first pitch at the All-Star game, and is even taking a turn in the booth. What’s next, a Food Network special? A rocking MTV countdown? A special episode of ”White House Gadgets” on G4? Enough already. Is anyone really this narcissistic? At times, the president seems more concerned with being a celebrity, and gaining all the perks that come with that status, than with leading the nation. One would think that being the leader of the free world is enough. Apparently, it’s not. In addition to being the Commander-in-Chief, one must also strive to be the Captain of Cool and the Celebrity-in-Chief. And, along the way, be on television twenty-four hours a day.
