President Obama isn’t quite in hibernation. But he’s saying less, proposing less, appearing in public less, doing less, interacting with Congress less, plugging his health care plan less, and singling out a Republican demon less. It took two years and the harsh rejection of a midterm election for Obama to figure out what shouldn’t have been a secret: The magic of the presidency declines with overindulgence.

Now several days go by at the White House with the president listed as having “no public schedule.” Or his calendar will feature only a string of Oval Office meetings described as “closed press.” That’s Washington lingo for no media coverage whatsoever.

Themes like hope and change fall flat when you have real responsibilities, are building a public record, and constantly face accountability. Omnipresence may work for a candidate, but it doesn’t for a president.

He’s probably in the war room snorting coke and planning a revolution in England.

Maybe he’s resting up for the big Muslim World Music Day on April 12. You know he loves to party.

Looking for his BC? Probably in the same place Hillary found her missing Rose law firm billing records.

Sorry...I disagree.

His-sissyness is constantly in our faces.

I’m sick of the sight and sound of him-her.

No golf, no basket ball?

No more date nights with Michelle in New York? No more trips on Air Force 1 just for giggles and because you can?

Has Michelle learned from Hillary that when you are very angry, you can throw something like a cigarette tray at him.

I may have already posted this. If so, be kind. I'm learning new MAC.

He’s hiding from Donald Trump.

Where’s the birth certificate?

Sorry, Fred, but he's not getting any better.

The rhetorical gimmick of false choice, sanctimonious delivery, sophomoric jabs, hypocrisy, policy fictions and shocking imperialism of his dictates do not stand up to scrutiny.

He should be savaged in the press.

Sounds just like Jimmy Carter in his final two years. All you would read is that Carter was hiding in the White House Rose Garden while the world burned. History repeats.
