Barack Obama wants to be president. He really does. To remain president, he will do and say anything. Would that his commitment to the country’s well-being were so dogged.

When our embassies were attacked in Egypt and Libya, he didn’t allow it to interfere with his slumbers. Later, he said the attacks were “attacks on America.” Then, as Rich Galen put it, “To keep close tabs on our response to those ‘attacks on America’ Obama played footsie with the gals on The View. And attended a reception. And tweeted about the nature of the global issue of replacement refs in the NFL.” “The View,” receptions and NFL natter are the reasons Obama wants to be president. Would that Mitt Romney seemed to want it that much.
