It is obvious that Palin isn’t going to be the next president. “She doesn’t seem able to articulate the case for conservatism in a manner that is compelling or even particularly persuasive,” former Bush aide Peter Wehner wrote on Commentary’s blog.

We need a candidate with at least some of Palin’s star power, but the candidate must also be able to speak with confidence and depth about any public issue. Much of the time, this means an ability to speak fluent B.S. Palin speaks this language like a tourist frantically thumbing through a phrase book.

Remember that time President Bush interrupted the Emmy telecast to tell people we should support reform of Social Security before it bankrupted the country?

Neither do I. Yet when I tuned in to watch “Monday Night Football” this week to check out the Miami Dolphins’ Wildcat offense, I didn’t expect to see President Obama taking the direct snap and trying to pound his political message into the end zone.

Where’s the flag for illegal procedure? The president is popping up everywhere but Cialis commercials. How long before we have to watch him and Michelle holding hands in matching bathtubs as they lecture us about executive compensation schemes?

With the full blessing of the media, Obama is still in election mode, and I say: If elections persist more than 24 months, it’s a problem. Especially when the networks are giving him free time to air what amount to campaign commercials.

A pre-taped intro from Obama opened the Oct. 12 “MNF” telecast. This was at least his third appearance there in the last three years. That means he’s on more than the Arizona Cardinals.
