Obama's TV Air Time Too Much?

Is Barack Obama on tv so much that it becomes nothing special when he addresses the nation now?

Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama previously served as a United States Senator from Illinois, from January 2005 until he resigned following his victory in the 2008 presidential election.

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.

Following an unsuccessful bid against the Democratic incumbent for a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2000, Obama ran for United States Senate in 2004. Several events brought him to national attention during the campaign, including his victory in the March 2004 Democratic primary and his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He won election to the U.S. Senate in Illinois in November 2004. His presidential campaign began in February 2007, and after a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination. In the 2008 presidential election, he defeated Republican nominee John McCain, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. In October 2009, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

As president, Obama signed economic stimulus legislation in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009 and the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act in December 2010. Other domestic policy initiatives include the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the Dodd--Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act and the Budget Control Act of 2011. In foreign policy, he gradually withdrew combat troops from Iraq, increased troop levels in Afghanistan, signed the New START arms control treaty with Russia, ordered enforcement of the United Nations-sanctioned no-fly zone over Libya, and issued a direct order to a small group of American military forces to kill al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. In April 2011, Obama declared his intention to seek re-election in the 2012 presidential election.

I think Obama is trying but I just don't like what he is trying for. He is getting NOTHING done but that ia due to party being split so bad. Bush droped giving a Fuck after 2006 so he just hung out and watched baseball in his pajamas

When he first got elected I was saying welcome to Oboingoland new homeland of the Oboingo tribe and people said it was racist. lol

Most likely BHO's buddy, the cancer ridden Chavez likes seeing him on the air. They both like air time so they can try to persuade public opinion. BHO is failing miserably, and frankly I'm pleased.

I am to the point where I think there should be a "White House" type channel. Anytime the president wants to speak, it would be on that channel. I don't think it should be a cable channel, it should be a public channel. Why shouldn't the president be able to "weigh in" on different issues if he wants to? The president wouldn't be required to use the channel, but if he wants to say something to the public, he has a venue and the other networks wouldn't be involved.
