The Risk Of Overexposure

Kish and Richard disagree with me on this, but I think it is a mistake for the President to do things like spend time in the broadcast booth at the All-Star Game, hanging with Tim McCarver and Joe Buck. I don’t know whether familiarity breeds contempt, but I do think that politicians can get overexposed — and when the American public gets tired of somebody, it is never a good thing. Why not give people a break and let them watch the All-Star Game in peace, without having politics intrude upon the national pastime?
