- Obama's approval ratings aren't too hot right now. Neither are anyone else's in federal government, but, let's not stray from the obvious point at hand-the presidency is in shambles!
- And, of course, the only thing that can save him is listening to the media so willing to give him oodles of invaluable advice. Let's take a moment to look back at the unsolicited advice hall of fame-as well as a sample of what spoonfuls of medicine in column inch form have been offered this week to help the president get out of his rut.
- Stop golfing
- No really, stop having fun.
- Make new friends.
- Be a micromanager
- Use more business words.
- "Be fucking presidential."
- Be Bill Clinton
- Be Ronald Reagan
- Be Abraham Lincoln
- Be LBJ
- Don't Be LBJ
- Be Teddy Roosevelt
- Be John Adams
- Be James Polk
- Make the Acela faster
- Tell us a happy story!
- Tell us ALL THE STORIES!
- Panic
- Hire Dick Cheney
- Be Jed Bartlet
- Grow a beard
