Life with the Nanny President

Well, this says it all about how President Obama sees his role in our lives:

In β€œRevival: The Struggle for Survival Inside Obama’s White House,” MSNBC analyst Richard Wolffe, a writer sympathetic to the president, reports the prosaic backroom details of the White House struggles from early this year, but occasionally stumbles upon an off-the-cuff revelation that’s much more interesting.

One staffer was conspicuously overweight. The president, in an incident that Wolffe believes proves how caring the man is, took it upon himself to present the aide with a salad for lunch β€” β€œthen listened to him protest that he could take care of his own health. β€˜I love you, man,’ Obama said. β€˜I want you to look after yourself. Eat the salad.’ ”

I love you, man. Eat the salad. That is the Obama presidency in a plastic see-through clamshell. (Hold the ranch dressing!) The president loves us. He knows what’s best for us. We should bow to his superior wisdom.

This reminds me of a video Mary Katherine Ham did soon after the inauguration:

Little did she know she was making a documentary, not just satire.

Dear Mr. President:

Thanks for the love, man, but –and don’t take this personally– mind your own business!

Love,

The American People
