Obama is not acting like a president, more like a Celebrity - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 03-19-2009, 11:45 PM

This man has been the President for only two months and so far he has

1.Sat in the front row of a Wizards Game

2. Appeared on ESPN to make his NCAA Tournament Picks

3.And Now appearing on the TONIGHT SHOW?????

What the hell is he doing? Shouldn't he be doing something more important than acting like a Celebrity and being more focused on the economy?

This man flew to LA to be on the Tonight Show??

I'm stunned

I agree. The media has constantly been shoving Obama down our throats for the last 6 months or so. He's our president and he should be more focused on the economy and helping the people of the United States instead of making March Madness picks and watching the horrible Wizards.

Personally, I don't think John McCain would have been any better. Didn't he say you're not upper class unless you're making $5 million a year or something like that? It was like picking the lesser of two evils. I refuse to play that game, which is why I voted for Ralph Nader.

I just never thought a President would appear on a Late Night Talk Show

Frankly, it seems that Obama is more concerned with his own image. He wants to come across as down to earth kind of guy, and a family man. I don't care how down to earth he is. Take care of the economy first, then make your appearances.

I felt he should have until next season to appear at a basketball game, not 60 days into the presidency

I believe he is trying to reach out to the College age crowd with the Tonight Show visit. Since the college age group mostly watch Jay. I have no clue about the whole basketball picks. Obama is not the only president who has attended a sporting event such as a basketball game, football or baseball.

Has any other president attended a Basketball Game? He loves Basketball, no big deal. Other normal folk sit in the front row also. If those are the only 3 things, then he's not doing bad.

Bill Clinton attended one in 1998. He sat in his box though.

If I was dealing with the whole Monica Lewinsky scandal I would sit in the press box too.

Obama feels as though he has to be seen??? He would have been seen anyway, Press box or not. Did it hurt anyone?

Yes he would have but the difference is he is going out of his way to been seen

Yes, his celebrity status is ridiculous! If I wanted a celebrity for a president, I would've voted for Wayne Rogers or Alan Alda!
