Katharine DeBrecht: Obama's 15 months of fame

"Obama is like a child TV star who rose to fame because he eloquently delivered a cute catchphrase ('Hope and Change' as opposed to 'Hey, Mikey! He likes it!'), but now finds himself an adolescent in a grown-up world and faced with the task of actually manning up to the responsibilities of a new job for which he applied. Yet, instead of stepping up to the plate, Obama is relying merely on his celebrity status to coast through the sometimes ceremonial and often dire decisions a chief executive must make.

"Since January, Obama has turned the 24-hour news cycle into Obama TV. When Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., joked that Obama has appeared on every network except the Food Network, heads must have rolled in the White House for missing that gig. Not to worry, First Lady Michelle is going to appear on 'Iron Chef' America in January."
