Am I the only one that thinks that Obama is acting like a clown?
Seriously. If you saw more videos of him you would know that he spends more time cracking jokes about celebrities at moronic talk shows instead of talking about the issues he faces. Isn't a president suppose to be the most serious & orderly political figure out there? I mean there's nothing wrong by laying back a bit, but this is nothing more than pure showmanship. At least hes better than Bush... On the other hand anyone is better than Bush =_=

No wonder American economy is in the shitter. No seriousness. All but a popularity contest.

99% of Obama's time is spent dealing with serious issues very seriously. Some of that finds it on to the internet and into the public eye, but not a great deal, because it's seen by most as boring.

1% of his time is doing things like this and cracking jokes. This is more interesting to people, so it's what most people see of him on the internet.

In terms of his actual failures as president with regard to things such as the economy; there's only so much he can do. He's a president whose party enjoys a minority of seats in congress, so most decisions on new laws are out of his hands.

I think it's great that he can take the time to put a light face on politics and not take it seriously 100% of the time. Currently people are becoming disenchanted with politics, thinking that it's stale, corrupt and just plain boring. It takes leaders like these, ones who can identify with both young and old, to reinvigorate an apathetic youth.

In the UK all of our leaders are boring as fuck and almost nobody likes them. They can't make or take jokes, they do nothing but bore people.

vis-a-vis this particular video, I think it was a good way for him to activate the electorate in an issue that directly affects them but one that they might not know a great deal about. Half of a politician's job is making decisions for the people, the other half is to inform the people of the decisions being made.

Perhaps they are regarded as corrupt because they avoid of analyzing and explaining the issues they encounter.
Do you think Obama is regarded less corrupt in the US unlike the politicians in the UK? Hes getting bombarded with hate from both the left and the right. The black community that were once his greatest and most loyal supporters started to dislike him. His charming jokes about Kim Kardashian don't seem to sway the public.

In Lithuania there is a complete different mindset when it comes to politics. The people that pursue publicity stunts that cause scandals are usually regarded as clowns. And strangely the boring politicians somehow gain the majorities trust and respect. Of course there are occasions where politicians are hated for their failed policies as well.

And the end of the day we can agree to disagree. After all where from different parts of the world
