By A.B. Stoddard-
Perhaps President Obama might consider it his duty to act presidential, even if it is just acting. He could acknowledge that Americans find it comforting and appropriate for their president to be present in a crisis, let alone during many at once, and not simply speaking to a bank of cameras stationed outside some incongruous setting, where he is conducting far less important presidential work far from the White House.
Now that the commander in chief must focus his energy on wars in Syria, Iraq, Gaza and Ukraine, even as the humanitarian crisis worsens on our border, it might be time for Obama to attempt a sober façade that doesn’t involve billiards, burgers or beers.
The president’s aides claim each staggering problem can be handled from the road, where Obama is fundraising with Silicon Valley donors and meeting with Americans to connect his domestic policy agenda to the plight of the middle class. In these gatherings, Obama is posing for the kind of photo ops he spoke contemptuously of when he refused to visit the southern Texas border while fundraising in the Lone Star State two weeks ago.

Ryan Pitts the Medal of Honor for his heroic and selfless service in Afghanistan, but then the president flew off to California for more fundraising. A scheduled stop to make an appearance with comedian Jimmy Kimmel was canceled at the last minute by Obama aides or perhaps the president himself, who upon greater reflection saw that appearing on the show that night could be considered unseemly.
There was the possibility that Kimmel could ask about the BuzzFeed story titled “Snoop Dogg Says He Got High at the White House,” or maybe the White House suddenly worried Kimmel could pop a question like, “The world has never been less stable in your lifetime, Mr. President, what the hell are you doing here?”
