So, BO, having dispatched Hillary and Bill, which so many of us are and will continue to be so grateful for, now goes off on a mid-east and European tour, looking and sounding all the while like the actual President of the United States. The press dutifully reports BO's every move, meeting, and statement. Network anchors beg to be seen with "him" so they can self-aggrandize by then "reporting" on their "exclusive interviews.
Doesn't any of this smack of the least bit of impropriety to professional observers? Isn't this the kind of trip normally made by a President-elect?
My guess is that the strategy and thinking employed by BO and his political advisors (mainly Axelrod) to secure the Democratic nomination is not the same approach required for the general election. What works on Democrats does not necessarily work on independents and certainly doesn't work on most Republicans. For the most part, Republicans need something more than a picture. And in this case, the picture which probably does work for Democrats (seeing BO appear to be Prsident), may actually hurt BO with Republicans by coming across so presumptuous.
Maybe Hillary was right? Maybe he's not electable?
