Delivering a rallying speech at historically black Bowie State University in Maryland a few days ago, the president got downright personal: “Don’t make me look bad, now.”
It’s not easy to convert exhaustion into enthusiasm. But if Obama doesn’t want to look bad, that’s what he has to do.

Whatever happened to hope and change ?
Obama’s latest rally-shout isn’t exactly “win for for the Gipper”, is it ?
“Don’t make me look bad” is one of his current campaign themes … along with bashing Boehner (who ?), Rove, Gillespie (who ?), the US Chamber of Commerce (huh ?), oil companies, banks, big pharma, insurance companies, etc.
Then, after telling the crowds to “buck up” and get to work for their local Dem candidates, he headed for the links.
President Obama hit the golf course Saturday for what, by CBS News’s Mark Knoller’s calculation, was his 52nd such outing since taking office.

Guess he hasn’t heard the management mantra: “Walk the talk.”

BTW: How does one “buck up”?
