This ain’t no reality show. This is no talk-show. This is a serious “job” and only “serious” applicants need apply. That’s what POTUS said in a nutshell when asked his thoughts on a Trump victory.

“I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president. And the reason is because I have a lot of faith in the American people. And I think they recognize that being president is a serious job.”

Obama made his comments regarding Trump at the conclusion of the U.S.-Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Rancho Mirage, California.

“It’s not hosting a talk show or a reality show. It’s not promotion, it’s not marketing. It’s hard. And a lot of people count on us getting it right.”

Really? It’s not hosting a talk show? The Daily Show. The Tonight Show. Ellen. The View. Nope, not talk shows at all. Move along.

Let’s not mention Air Force One Travel and separate appearances by FLOTUS on television (ahem…NOT talk shows).

And, The Presidency is not a “reality show”, either. Unless you’re promoting climate change. Gag.

And, heaven knows, it’s not about self-promotion or marketing AT ALL.

But, you know what it is? A whole lot of golf. That’s hard, folks. Especially when you have to break away from a game. It’s hard to be POTUS. Hard to apologize for America on the daily. Hard to drive a nation into a $19 trillion dollar deficit. It’s serious business.

The sad reality is that too many people DID count on him-on “them” to get it right. They believed that eventually he would, so much so that they gave him another four years to get more of the same thing we got the first four years of the Obama administration. While “President of The United States” should be a title that is not taken lightly, not treated as a mere starring role in a reality show, or a 4-8 year waltz on the red carpet of celebrity, we think Barack Obama’s protest of Donald Trump is nothing but projection. Donald Trump is no more of an attention-seeker than Barack Obama-he’s just not as sneaky about the means of garnering the attention. Barack Obama has “faith” in the American people who are blind to the narcissism they have been subject to over the past 8 years. Most of us are wide awake and not blind to the smokescreens of showmanship.

To BHO calling out Trump, we say “it takes one to know one”. Look in the mirror.
