G-20 ipod

President Obama recently attended the G-20 sessions to discuss America's place in re-vamping our worlds economy. Most would agree this is a very very important part of Obama's plan, if not the most important. The recession in America has hit everyone in one way or another. Despite its severity, the article by Ben Pershing, focuses on the non-traditional demeanor of Obama and the First Lady. Entitled, "Obama Courts G-20 with Star Power, iPod." Obama is a star, yes. But he is not supposed to be Brad Pitt nor is Michelle Obama supposed to be Angelina Jolie. He is supposed to be the president of the United States of America. 

Rather, than covering the topics discussed by the G-20, Pershing discusses how Obama gave Queen Elizabeth II an ipod. The article also discusses how Michelle Obama "breached royal protocol" by touching the queen's back. Obama is everywhere-- the cover of People Magazine, "60 Minutes," "Jay Leno," etc. No other president has been so informal with the media. But is he too informal? Is he too much of a celebrity, that people are not criticizing his presidency like they should? With Obama's first 100 days in office close to being over, what does America really know about Obama's political agenda? 

Unfortunately, most American's know that the Obama girls are getting a dog, possibly to be named "Moose,". Now, Americans are aware that Obama gave the queen an iPod. Who cares? The answer is tragically enough, a lot of Americans. Otherwise these frivolous, unimportant articles would have stopped being written. 

Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, should look into having Obama do an iPod commercial. It could be named the "G-20 iPod" and even feature a cameo of the new "First dog,". Obama might be game for the commercial, since he certainly seems to have the time for People and "Leno"; why not Jobs as well?
