The President as Pitchman: It Isn't Pretty

"President Obama demeans the office of the presidency by traveling to Denmark, where he will reduce himself to the role of Billy Mays pitchman in the U.S. bid to win the 2016 Olympic games for Chicago.

The greatest asset a president of the United States has is his credibility and his time. I know because I had the privilege of being the "gate keeper" for President George W. Bush.

I was Deputy Assistant to the President for Appointments and Scheduling, Vetting and Research. I was responsible for Mr. Bush's time management and planning. As such, I was acutely aware of how valuable and important the time of the president of the United States is."
