Agreed. If the President were truly relentless in his pandering, surely we would all know about it.
A truly relentless pandering President would, for example, pander during his State of the Union address. He would pander during press conferences. He would pander while making a few carefully prepared off-the-cuff remarks for a few select reporters. He would pander to the public, to legislators, and to his family alike, relentless pandering as only a President can pander.
A truly relentless pandering President would pander by day, and also by night, pausing in his Presidential labors only to pander in his relentless pandering dreams.
Granted, I don’t pay much attention to the press. But to my eye, it looks like Obama spends most of his time being President.
