Japan's nuclear sites are burning. Egypt is allegedly giving birth to its first democracy. Libya's Colonel-in-Chief is beating back rebel (democratic?) uprisings. Bahrain is perhaps the next Middle-East domino under threat, after Yemen. Iran and China are pressing their respective lids down on their boiling pots. The Economy is not recovered. Unemployment is not improving. The Federal Govt is limping along on continuing budget resolutions instead of having a permanent budget. His vaunted Health Care Act is doing poorly in court. Utah just signed Immigration Reform to combat the Fed's inaction. ...And what do we see and hear of from the POTUS? Final 4 brackets. Golf outings. Talk of the epidemic of school-yard bullying. A wholly ignored call for a more civil tone. Trivial nothings.
But, to be "fair", let's blame this on the Media, since all we see and hear of the POTUS is what they choose to show and tell us. And we're assured by all his supporters that he can handle all of the important stuff concurrently with all this unimportant stuff, because he's just so amazing. If that were so, why would his adoring Media buds show us only the unimportant stuff, thereby creating the impression that he is letting his real duties slide? Why would they do this? And why is it that the real work of the POTUS should be so invisible? Surely, some of his workings do need to be beyond our sight. ...But all of them?? Why is so much about this man such a vacuous mystery?
