[VIDEO] I think I can get with Ben Shapiro's point in this piece. He views Obama as a celebrity President more than he was a politician. Obama was a celebrity or even a "messianic" figure who came to fundamentally transform the U.S.A. Because most of us fell for his charisma we did hoist so many expectations unto him, however, the results of this became bad public policy.
Of course from the celebrity of Obama came the celebrity of Donald Trump. After 8 years of Obama we got the populism of Trump. And now we got the "messianic" figure of Joe Biden except he's failing so much that Obama isn't treating his former Vice President the same way.
Remember earlier this year the President was trying to get his former President's attention and Obama just ignored the current President. Isn't that insane? It's almost like saying I'm more important and people like me more, so I just won't give you the time of day.
Perhaps we need to treat our political leaders as such, political leaders. Not as celebrities who want to be seen not on the cover of newsmagazines, but on the covers of more cultural magazines.
