President Obama Fan Frenzy

I do not understand what all the fuss is surrounding President Obama. He seems to have a huge following of almost cult-like fans. People faint and fawn over him like he’s a Hollywood celebrity like a movie star or pop star or rock star. There are blogs about his wardrobe, news stories about what kind of music he listens to on his Blackberry, articles on what kind of food he eats for dinner, his workout and fitness routine, fan clubs discussing his sex appeal … the absurd list goes on and on!

Give me a break! Who cares about any of this trivial stuff? Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America and the United States is in the midst of a huge economical crisis. We’re in a recession and swiftly headed towards a depression. So wake up people!! Instead “worshipping” Mr. Obama like some starry-eyed school girl, we need to start looking at the big picture. How is Obama, as President, going to help America and the people of the United States overcome the gigantic financial and social hurdles we face as a nation. THAT is what we need to be focusing on.
