Too Much of a Bad Thing?

Though those of us who live, breath, eat, sleep and excrete politics certainly were looking forward to tonight's "make or break" Obama speech, I'm wondering if all of this joint-session of congress, prime-time effort on the part of the President is futile?

Why? I think the President is suffering from a classic case of over-exposure.

Think about it. This man is more omnipresent than Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and that song you hate on the radio combined.

Is it normal for the President to be in the news cycle on a regular basis? Of course. What isn't normal, is to have the President so utterly involved in every issue, every debate, every story. The man made a March Madness pick!

Of course this was most dramatically displayed during the "Cops Acted Stupidly" news conference debacle.

I think the President would do well to realize that big speeches aren't as exciting when you make one on every issue, every day. Same goes for town-hall meetings too.

Remember how sick you were hearing about MJ's death? Think of how most Americans must feel about Obama and healthcare.

The President clearly understands the "big stick" he carries. I think he just needs to use it a little less frequently.
