When Barky took office, the price of a gallon of gas was less than $1.90. His idea of "governing" is one of non-stop campaigning, lurching continually from one crisis to another, or as Noonan aptly puts it: governing by freakout. And though the various crises are largely of his own making, that's where the incessant campaigning comes in; it's the only thing that he can do well, and he turns each and every campaign into a finger-pointing, blame-the-Republicans session.
Even the lapdog media's growing weary of it; the kid never deals much with them, and everything is carefully staged for maximum showmanship. Why take potentially embarassing questions from a CBS or New York Times reporter when he can go on "The View" to be suitably fawned over?
