I stayed up late last night and watched a little bit of Jay Leno interview President Obama. The president got a little bit of flack when it was announced he would go on the Tonight Show. The gist of the comments were that he should be fixing the economy and not appearing on entertainment TV shows. There are also those who think he is doing too many things at once. Everyone has an opinion. Mine is that he is doing just fine.
The whole controversy reminded me of the campaign last year when the Republican talking points came up with the criticism that Obama is a celebrity. How could we elect a celebrity to be president (unless it was Ronald Reagan)? I do worry, however, that our president might let all this celebrity go to his head. So, I came up with some warning signs.
You Know President Obama Has Let Fame Go to His Head When He . . .
--Starts hanging out at the Playboy Mansion.
--Has the U.S. Mint issue an Obama dollar coin.
--Is named to star in the new Ocean's 14 movie.
--Leaves his wife for Angelina Jolie.
--Has the Pope kiss his ring.
--Guest stars on the VH1 show, I Love New York.
Let me know if you have any warning signs of your own.
