Or rather a quick slideshow listing several more things… his vacations, then an allusion to surfing, which is what came to mind when I saw your title. There were two docu. movies that came out years ago called “Endless Summer 1 & 2″ if memory serves, about some surfers looking to surf around the world, not wanting to stop. They had 5 more seconds available for the ad, no?

The NRSC and other GOP groups, and more importantly non-GOP groups need to focus on character, or rather the lack thereof in candidates. Character does count, and it’s obvious Obama is one, but doesn’t have it.

I do like seeing the blurb of Obama campaigning with/for Robin Carnahan. Heh, as November gets closer, she’s going to try and shake him more and more from her campaign as possible. And her brother Russ has got to be thinking that his blood, political dynasticism, and pandering to Democrat bigwigs is going to hurt him all the more in his bid for re-election in MO3! Ha!

I think they are on the right track but you need to be more BLUNT and hit harder! I felt NOTHING watching this. There is so much that is on video that screams dereliction of duty, as well as abuse of office… this ain’t it! You also need to go after Queen Michele in a video. Three months guys, you can’t make the same mistake McCain did, we are in unusual times and the media [not even Fox] are going to help you with this.
Back to the editing room…

Some oil spill shots and greasy pelicans mighta’ been nice.
Throw in a few foreclosure signs and some shutdown factories.
Now you’re talking.

One thing that we should avoid is the reference to presidents creating jobs like in the last line if the vid. Job creation should not be their responsibility, but rather set up conditions for job creation and get the blank out of the way. The public is getting brainwashed into thinking government is solely responsible for creating jobs and that concerns me.

There have only been a handful of times when Obama has come across as a regular person. One was during a baseball broadcast from in the booth with a pair of well-known announcers whose names escape me at the moment, and on The View as advertised above. I only saw clips from his View appearance and then only on other shows, being allergic in extremis to the henhouse chatter and pointless patter of this silly show, but in those moments what I saw was Obama speaking almost like a normal person; not in high rhetorical dudgeon, not in high-school-debate-club-star oratory mode, not in elevated, professorial mode.

It’s refreshing to see him come alive and for a precious few moments I liked the guy and was able to see him as a more-or-less familiar type of American, not as some kind of freaky specimen raised in a petri dish in the bowels of the lab of some leftist think tank. (I’ve never worried about him being born out of country; off earth, perhaps or maybe even out of our solar system.)

But even before the end of his endless campaign’s earlier moments (i.e., pre-election ’08), I lfound myself constitutionally unable to listen to his soaring, roaring, and oh-so-empty orations. When O’Blivion is in oratory mode, it’s time to invoke the remote-control option. (Pardon the snarky nicknames, but simply if embarrassingly said, it amuses me in these unamusing times. It’s also an entrenched midwestern habit, that of twisting peoples names for the heck of it, friends and foes alike. No harm intended.)

My point: Obama should relax a little and let his inner-human roam free, or at least freer. But I’m afraid it’s too late and has always been so. He’s locked into the limitations of a pre-existing disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, in his case, NPD-lite. This is my (very) unprofessional opinion, salted with an excess of snark (it must be added): O’s alleged NPD (lite) is probably just a little this side of a firm diagnosis. Regardless, NPD–being one of the 11 subtypes (in DSM IV anyway, haven’t seen the most recent DSM update) of sociopathic diagnoses–has no sure cure. A sociopath, again as of DSM IV, has indeed been determined to have a form of mental disease, but one that is considered incurable and as such does not yield itself to a plea of no guilty by reason by mental disease or defect in court. Nor is it considered treatable. (In all seriousness, an NPD diagnosis here functions better as a metaphor for O’s odd set of behaviors than as an reality.)

O’s borderline NPD apparently does not accommodate many moments of the kind of ordinariness the rest of us are forced to tread water in throughout all of our days, but an earth-based Obama was evidenced, however briefly, on The View. If I was one of his advisors, I’d suggest that he go with this undernourished human side of his and leave his more commonly exhibited professor personality on the sidelines. It would, marginally, help his polls but not save his presidency.

BTW, Obama’s seeming inability to stop “shooting down” (a phrase borrowed from Pat Buchanan) at his perceived foes, like Limbaugh, gives additional heft to the (specious) notion that he “suffers” from NPD, as he is drawn like a moth to a flame to dispute any criticism levelled at him, regardless of its source and regardless of how bad it makes him look. By Buchanan’s definition, shooting down is no different than bullying and as we all know, the bully pulpit wasn’t intended for the wholesale denigration of Americans of lesser status than the person wielding it.

and we all know he can’t govern worth a hoot, as he’s only interested in implementing radical policy before Americans seize back the reigns of sanity — and the pendulum swings back.

Organizer-in-Chief.

Don’t we also remember him telling McCain the campaign is over?

He’s still using the bum campaign line “failed Bush policies” — obviously, because he has cotributed NOTHING constructive to this country.

And now he’s doing it in Texas, so this very timely.

If you don’t like the vid, then by all means, try and go make your own. Then see if you can make it go viral.
