If only he'd work this hard on the economy

So far in this campaign, Obama has hosted more fundraisers than the last five presidents combined. He can always find time for fundraisers, golf, parties, and extravagant vacations. If only he'd work at, you know, being president. He loves the position (and the perks); it's the work he never has time for.

There are at least three important points to be made about this:

1. Seriously ... at a time when record numbers of Americans are suffering from the economy, Obama spends all his time getting re-elected rather than doing his job. (Similarly, we watch as Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. spiral out of control. But he's too busy to seriously deal with any of those ... too busy fundraising.) He's joined by a Democrat Senate who haven't even been able to pass a budget for three years. But this is what we should expect from the Narcissist in Chief. He doesn't care about Americans; he only cares about himself. Besides, governing is a lot quicker when you skip the other branches of government and just issue decrees.

2. The only thing he's willing to devote time to is getting money for himself. All the normal Americans can twist in the wind as they watch their savings deplete. Obama doesn't care. He's not going to spend time being president and helping the country. He's too busy trying to scrounge up every cent he can. (Even to the point of telling people they should fore-go their wedding gifts in order to give him money. He's all class, that one.)

3. Lastly, we see (as always) his hypocrisy. He is incessantly whining about being outspent by Romney. This is hypocritical on multiple levels. First of all, he boasted about outspending McCain 3-1. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, the Crybaby in Chief can't stand it. Secondly, earlier this year he was boasting about how he was going to outspend Romney. It was evidence of how much people loved him and what a spectacular politician he was. But now that Romney is out-raising him, again, the whining is deafening. Lastly, he's spending all of his time fundraising - far more time than Romney is. The hypocrisy of criticizing Romney for raising lots of money when Obama is trying harder than any person in history to raise money is, ummm, rich. (I suspect that this is what is really galling Obama: Romney is more successful at this by doing it in his spare time than Obama is doing it full-time. His ego can't stand it.)
