President Obama says he’s not interested in attacking President Trump or Republicans in general because then he would become part of the “commentator culture.”

As the guy who pretty much invented that culture on television (Rush Limbaugh did it on radio), my advice to the former president is far out and right on.

First off, Mr. Obama doesn’t need the grief. He’s making millions giving speeches that do involve his opinion. As Hall and Oates once sang: “Why you want more?”

Secondly, the commentator thing has been roughed up by social media zealots hungry for money and attention. This is a rather nasty club these days.  I wonder what the late Charles Krauthammer would be thinking. His commentary was sterling. I hope you remember.

Barack Obama has unlimited access to the establishment media and is able to make any points he wants. He doesn’t have to be a snollygoster searching for validation.

Political analysis is not what it used to be, and while astute commentary is needed, it is being overwhelmed by gutter sniping and conspiracy stuff.

Who needs that?  Really.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
