Celebrity President

Obama was on Jay Leno tonight, becoming the first US president ever to go on Jay Leno while serving as president. He didn't hesitate to further his political philosophy. I don't know how I feel about the celebrity status of our current president. The first thing I thought is, "Doesn't he have something else to be doing." I understand that this is a new-age way to connect with the public, but I think that you have to be careful when selecting a forum.

Political PR

I recently watched the movie "W", starring Josh Brolin and directed by Oliver Stone. It made me wonder about the public relations involved in being president of the United States and trying to push your political agenda.

Karl Rove in the movie is depicted as a weasily little guy, annoying but brilliant. I guess that is what PR people are: annoying and brilliant.
