Who Cares
What I want to know right now is who really cares if some magazine put a picture of Obama in a bathing suit on the cover? When Bush fell of his bike it was all over the place. I think Clinton fell when jogging and it was blasted. He is the President, the most powerful man in the country and he is going to blasted all over every TV, newspaper, magazine, and it is something that comes with the job. We may not like what is said or the attention that comes with the job, but we have this desire to know it all. We want to be accepted, acknowledged, and in control. We want to know if the postman is married and what his wife looks like. So, where would we think that Obama would be any different? Is there something somewhere that says he’s off limits just because he is the President? Doesn’t that make us want to know more about the man? I think the only thing the most people would agree on is that children are off limits. But even then I remember pictures of Palin’s kid being pregnant all over the news and when she split with her boyfriend it was plastered. There was even an interview on at least one major news show. So, once again we may not like what is reported but we listen and we voice our opinions. If the news was bland and nothing to really discuss one way or another then it wouldn’t be interesting and we wouldn’t watch it. If you stop and think about it, the leading stories are always some kind of catch phrase to get you in an uproar and freak out so you will watch. This is just another one of those things and people really should try to remember he is going to be looked at with a fine tooth comb for at least the next four years. I remember within a month of him taking office the news reported on all his gray hair. They even compared a picture from when he started running for office to the present time and pointed it out. So, there wasn’t some stink because he isn’t using Just for Men. So why do we care if he goes on vacation with his family and they take a picture of him in his bathing suit? We should be glad that he is a family man and instead be concerned with everything else that’s going wrong in this crazy world we live in.
