Remember Jennifer Lopez?  Seems like a lifetime ago when she was at the top of her game.  She was red hot and we couldn't get enough of that delicious ba-donka-donk.  We ate her up whether she shimmied on stage, charmed us in romantic comedies or stunned us at award shows.  "More J. Lo!  More Juicy Booty!" we screamed.

And then she started dating Ben Affleck and we were sooo sick of her.  "Overexposed!" we screamed.  We secretly plotted their breakup and then we cast her aside for the next great "it girl" when Bennifer finally did call it quits.  We didn't even show up to her premiere of Monster-in-Law.  How fickle we Americans are.

Bad news for Obama: He's this year's J Lo.

Let's be honest.  This year isn't a good Obama year. Last year, he was electric.  He could rally a massive army of volunteers with a simple catch phrase.  Women were YouTubing themselves in bikinis singing  for his election.  I am pretty sure I saw at least three unicorns on election night. Scarlett Johannsen endorsed Obama because she believed in her 34DD-hidden heart that Obama was going to fix all the problems left behind by the Bush Administration.

My guess is President Taft didn't have that kind of pressure.

This year started off pretty well for Obama.  We tracked his every move.  We watched daily his atmospheric approval ratings.  We ate up every word, every action and couldn't get enough of him.  Muslim world address?  Yes please!  Stimulus town halls?  Yes! Yes! Yes!  Date night with Michelle?  Omigod, yes!  Student back to-school-speech?  Um, yeah, sure. I guess.  Health Care Joint Session Congress Address?  Um, whatever.  If you must.

Our enthusiasm for Obama has waned.  Are we getting too much Vitamin O in our daily diet?  It's hard not to be overexposed when you are a totally awesome and historic President. I get that. When everything you touch turns to gold, people kinda pay attention.  But you goddamn fickle Americans and your goddamn need for "results."  It's sooooo annoying!

Calm down, y'all! Stop putting all this pressure on poor O!  He is tooootally going to deliver what Hillarycare never could: a health care plan that might not deny me because of my pre-existing conditions.  That's a goddamn triumph, people.

As mentioned earlier, Obama will address a joint session of Congress tonight. Topic: Health care.  (Insert resuscitation joke here.)  Let's just say things haven't been going so well regarding the public option (makes you think maybe he should have rolled out single-payer first, right? ).  What do we need to hear?

Well, for one, lefties need some confidence he's not going to cave on the public option.  Most lefties know that the pathway to single-payer system is through a strong public option (one preferably that allows the negotiation of rates).  Two, seniors need to hear that their Medicare and private insurance is safe and that death panels only exist in Sarah Palin's tiny little brain.  Third, everyone else needs confidence that Obamacare will actually increase coverage, decrease costs and make people healthier.  There's your winning formula, O.  Make it so.

Tomorrow's OMGObama coverage will reflect on tonight's speechifying and how totally awesome Obama was.
