Obama Really Needs to Step His Celebrity Game Up if He Wants to Get Re-Elected

Where did Cool Barry go? I want Cool Barry Back!

And I say this because I just spent the week on vacation in the Vineyard and the POTUS was only 3rd on my list of celebrities I was hoping to run into during the week…and that’s only of celebs I knew were there, he could have been further down the list for all I know. I suppose its partially not his fault, it’s hard to compete for the attention the same week Larry David and Morgan Freeman are patrolling around town, but still, CW 3 years ago would have been salivating at the chance to bump into Barry, now…not. I mean yea if I saw him I’d say hi, not like I’d snub him on the golf course or anything. I just wouldn’t be enthused.

But here's the thing, he absolutely needs that rock star status to get re-elected. Let's face it, he's not going to get re-elected based on his policy or presidency to date...I mean he's not horrible, he's just not been very good either. Basically he's like a C+ student, right in the meaty part of the curve, which is fine for high school students, awful for Commander in Chiefs (though decidedly better than his predecessor who was like the kid who was so slow he stayed back in the 3rd grade). 

Bottom line, no one's ever gotten elected when his voters would rather bump into the dude who'll probably play him in the movie about his presidency (Freeman) over the actual guy, that's a weak look that will not fly with the voters (of course this all may be moot if every Republican candidate continues to quote Bible scripture and praise Biblical storms, those wackadoos are not getting elected anyway).
