Politician or Rock Star….

OK, I have to be honest…I’m getting awful sick and tired of Barak Obama. Early on I was excited for him and his political aspirations. He had Liberal street cred with a lot of democrats, the exciting rise to power, he is very smart, a solid orator and seemed to have the making of the first black President of the United States. He seemed to have it all...and then reality set in! His performance in debates and in public has been a disappointment. He is treated like a Rock Star at campaign stops, but he’s a Politician…at least that’s what he claims to be. Rock Stars are fun and all, but I wouldn’t want Bono as my President…and I REALLY like Bono.

Oprah loves him, that’s no surprise. He danced and proved he had some groove on Ellen. Then he had the WORST INTERVIEW EVER on Tyra banks, I mean seriously that train wreck is no way to get votes. He has had his Colbert and Daily show sit-downs (which to be fair seems a pre-requisite for all candidates) and now he’s been on SNL to rip on Hillary. I get it, Obama’s relevant AND funny, but come on…this is getting ridiculous. The best he’s been able to do is rip on Hillary as a woman and a “faker” and promise he’s got all these innovative ideas, but where are the ideas? Where is the proof of policy smarts? Critics have rightfully pointed out he has not varied from a set stump speech and he’s made more than a few blunders proving he doesn’t have foreign policy chops. With every Hollywood moment he indulges in I’m loosing respect. Relying on cute and funny worked on his book tours, but now he’s trying to be President. I need my President to show that he/she has intelligence, savvy and political know-how…I could care less if Tyra or Oprah like him/her. For the love of God, somebody make him talk Politics and stop shaking his groove thing…it’s getting distracting.
