The Bear Is Loose: Short Of Obama Really Hates His Job And Just Wants To Campaign All The Time
President Obama ran two massive campaigns and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to land, and then keep, a job he doesn’t really like. Sure, he enjoys all of the perks that come with the office, but the job itself bores him to tears, he hates it. It’s getting so bad his staff has coined the hashtag #TheBearIsLoose to turn his abdication of responsibility into some sort of joke. Even the Washington Post has picked up on it.

On a single day this week in Denver, President Obama scarfed down pizza and drinks with strangers, shot pool with Colorado’s governor and shook hands with a guy on the street wearing a horse mask. His top staffers are promoting these stops on Twitter with the hashtag #TheBearIsLoose — a term one of Obama’s aides coined in 2008 when the candidate would defy his schedule.

It’s a shame we can’t cut his salary and benefits accordingly.
