I think Gabz explained it, I respectfully disagree on the grounds that Obama is quickly bringing the office of the President down to a celebrity level and I fear we will never return the WH to the level of respect it should demand... Clinton was bad, but Obama out the gate is worse with his comments about Rush, Sean, and now Jessica Simpson.
I totally agree with you that he is demeaning the office of the President, but I still think his remark re: Siumpson and the mag cover was totally innocuous.
As much as I like to diss the Bamster, the Jesica Simpson thing is a non issue.
Yesterday, during the Super Bowl pre-game hype on NBC, Matt IamaLiar had a manlovefest gushy interview w/Obama. Matt showed the cover of US magazine w/a nice picture of Michelle and the girls...but the Pres was editted out (and the Simpson blurb was placed where he was). When Lauer held it up Barry just ‘read’ the copy (stupidly...not maligning).
