"And here is Loomis's capsule summary of "The Summer of Recovery," the finale of the first full season of "Obama," a midseason replacement that premiered to hype and high ratings but is now struggling and may face cancellation: "Barack uses his trillion dollar stimulus to create the best summer ever--the 'Recovery Summer'--but wastes hundreds of billions on things like studies on how cocaine affects monkeys, investigating the link between yoga and hot flashes, bus-stop art, international ant research, and an upgrade to the statehouse and political offices in Topeka, Kan. Eventually, the economy ends up barely ambulatory."
There are other parallels. Like "Seinfeld," "Obama" is a show about nothing."
