Has anybody noticed that President Obama is always on the air? The office cafeteria shows CNN every day on a wall-mounted screen, and it seems I have lunch every day with him, standing at yet another lectern with an agenda and speech going at full tilt.
I don’t think any public figure in the United States, in the age of television, has been on the air more than Mr. Obama. I’m sure somebody is keeping track of his total face time on the air. Trying to digest lunch while our elected power player is discussing healthcare is rather unpleasant, though.
When the president isn’t giving a speech, the news seems to concentrate on anything that will give us diners in the cafeteria a hard time. I’d complain, but I don’t know what the building maintenance crew would substitute for CNN. MTV, perhaps?
At least we have the privilege of watching a groundbreaking US president set the wheels in motion to try to change our country to meet new goals in a world that is going topsy-turvy. And he always wears a nice suit.
