Mark Steyn on Our Celebrity President:
Last week, the republic’s citizen-president passed among his fellow
Americans. Where? Cleveland? Dubuque? Presque Isle, Maine? No, Beverly Hills
. These days, it’s pretty much always Beverly Hills or Manhattan, because
that’s where the money is. That’s the Green Zone, and you losers are
outside it. Appearing at an Obama fundraiser at the home of Glee creator
Ryan Murphy and his “fiancé” David Miller, the president, reasonably
enough, had difficulty distinguishing one A-list Hollywood summit from
another. “I just came from a wonderful event over at the Wilshire or the
Hilton — I’m not sure which,” said Obama, “because you go through the
kitchens of all these places and so you never are quite sure where you are.”
Ah, the burdens of stardom. The old celebrities-have-to-enter-through-
the-kitchen line. The last time I heard that was a couple of decades back in
London when someone was commiserating with Sinatra on having to be ushered
in through the back. Frank brushed it aside. We were at the Savoy, or maybe
the Waldorf. I can’t remember, and I came in through the front door. Oddly
enough, the Queen enters hotels through the lobby. So do Prince William and
his lovely bride. A month ago, they stayed at a pub in Suffolk for a friend
’s wedding, and came in through the same door as mere mortals. Imagine that!
So far this year, President Obama has been to three times as many
fundraisers as President Bush had attended by this point in the 2004
campaign. This is what the NewYork Post calls his “torrid pace,” although
judging from those remarks in California he’s about as torrid as an
overworked gigolo staggering punchily through the last mambo of the evening.
According to Brendan J. Doherty’s forthcoming book The Rise of the
President’s Permanent Campaign, Obama has held more fundraisers than the
previous five presidents’ reelection campaigns combined.
This is all he does now. But hey, unlike those inbred monarchies with
their dukes and marquesses and whatnot, at least he gets out among the
masses. Why, in a typical week, you’ll find him at a fundraiser at George
Clooney’s home in Los Angeles with Barbra Streisand and Salma Hayek. These
are people who are in touch with the needs of ordinary Americans because
they have played ordinary Americans in several of their movies. And then
only four days later the president was in New York for a fundraiser hosted
by Ricky Martin, the only man on the planet whose evolution on gayness took
longer than Obama’s. It’s true that moneyed celebrities in, say, Pocatello
or Tuscaloosa have not been able to tempt the president to hold a lavish
fundraiser in Idaho or Alabama, but he does fly over them once in a while.
Why, only a week ago, he was on Air Force One accompanied by Jon Bon Jovi en
route to a fundraiser called Barack on Broadway.
There's more.

Read it. Pass it on.
And join me in wondering how in hell so many Americans were fooled in 2008
by this fake... and how too many are continuing to be fooled by him today.
