When All You Have to Sell Is Your Obamaness
Obama in perpetual campaign, Barbour says.
It’s no coincidence President Obama has traveled to key swing states to push his massive stimulus measure, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said Sunday.
Barbour, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, said Obama’s recent travel is an indication that the new president is already running for reelection.
“He’s going to those places for a reason,” Barbour said on CNN’s State of the Union. “I mean David Axelrod, who’s his campaign consultant/manager/guru really is one of the brightest, most capable people in American politics. And so this is what we’ve become accustomed to, the perpetual campaign.”
Obama has no experience leading anything, but plenty campaigning for the next office. It’s a role he’s far more comfortable with than as the leader of the free world, as his performance in office shows.

So, demonstrated results such as the leadership of Arbusto Energy and the Texas Rangers baseball team are more important?

Leadership such as governing the second most populous state in the U.S. is more important.
BTW, running a baseball organization is no small thing. It certainly beats law review editor.

It certainly beats having to tout “well I’m running my Presidential campaign, aren’t I?” as proof of leadership experience.
