It is fashionable to be jaded about a presidential campaign, to complain there’s nothing new and tune it out. Not this one. Watch it, or you’ll miss the antics of an incumbent who has no scruples and no regard for the majesty of his office.
President Obama’s team put out an ad praising him for sending in Navy SEALs to kill Usama bin Laden and doubting whether Mitt Romney would have done it. To further exploit the one-year anniversary of Bin Laden’s death, he gave an interview to NBC in the Situation Room, from where he observed the raid. And The Wall Street Journal revealed that the Obama campaign has an enemies list, a group of Romney donors it singles out by name on a Web site while declaring some got rich “at the expense of so many Americans.”
As outrageous as those breaches of decency are, they are merely the latest extension of Obama’s polarizing presidency. His tenure threatened, he is growing desperate, almost pathologically so. And it’s only April.

Goodwin: President Obama is getting desperate -- and it shows (1),Afternoon Updates:
It’s good to see the SEALS speaking out (see also Jack’s tweets) and exposing the never ending in campaign mode Obama undeservedly ‘spiking the football’ in his own endzone when it was the other team (Special Forces) who really scored. A transparent POS deserving of no respect.
“Apparently”, Obama has official duties outside the US today. How convenient.
Signing an agreement? How convenient. That’s number three on his list of importance. The other two, he’s hiding first and second he’s campaigning …..every single thing he has done since 2008 has been campaign orientated. That’s all he knows how to do. The guy is an international embarassment.
He’s not desperate – that 15 minutes of fame needs to be fed daily. Love the absurb quality of this “man-child”. “” Don’t take your eyes off me, peeps – I will disappear if you do – your adulation is all that keeps me tethered to earth”. He is a helium balloon – rising above us all. Too funny. Cheers.
