The Onion

Balzac famously declined to have his photograph taken for fear that the apparatus would strip away his person, his soul, like the layers of the onion.  These days I kind of think Obama should take this kind of thinking to heart.  Sure, I love the guy, and I'm happy to have seen lots of him.  But I think he is hogging the camera a little right now.  He is a great leader, and now he needs to learn to be more of a manager.  Delegate and empower his team, pull them to the foreground, before his charisma is laid bare by overexposure.


The redneck rebellion that's a brewin' in the heartland demonstrates that Hillary, in particular, may have been stuck in the wrong slot.  She should be domestic-facing.  Somehow this very elite woman developed a rapport of her own with Joe Sixpack which is wasted on Beijing.
