It's Time To Stop Campaigning And Get To Work

Unless one has been completely isolated from the various news media for the past 8 months, I think it's safe to say that more of us are wishing President Obama would get off the campaign trail he's been on since he entered politics.

Sooner or later it is going to occur to Barack Obama that he is the president of the United States. As of yet, though, he does not act that way, appearing promiscuously on television and granting interviews like the presidential candidate he no longer is. The election has been held, but the campaign goes on and on. The candidate has yet to become commander in chief.

He's still acting as if he's campaigning for office. But maybe that's because that's all he's ever done since he entered politics. He's never really performed the duties of his elected office for any great length of time before he set his sights on a higher office. But now that he's President of the United States, there is no higher office in the land for him to seek. That may be his problem.

If he doesn't get around to actually being president, then there's no way he'll win a second term come 2012 because everyone, including his supporters, will be bored to death with him due to his constant media exposure and “All we need to make the world perfect is for everyone to be like...me” attitude.

I'm already bored with his grandstanding.

It's time for him to get to work...but I'm not holding my breath.
