The president's job description, found in Article II of the Constitution, is a simple one. He is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He may nominate judges and ambassadors, and make treaties, with the Senate's approval. He may "give to Congress information of the state of the union," and "take care that the laws be faithfully executed"—and that's about it.
Compare this short list of duties to President Obama's actual activities this month: flying from state to state on Air Force One, attempting to persuade a disillusioned base that Democrats' policies have helped the country despite all evidence to the contrary, blaming his predecessor for everything from the recession to the weather, and urging voters to get behind Democratic candidates on November 2. For the remainder of October, he will spend few, if any, full days in Washington.
Too bad we have a Community Organizer with no executive experience in the top executive job in the land. Would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
