The Timex Man

This is really an expansion of a comment I made earlier. And it is representative of how I view the year 2014 and what truly will make it, in years to come, perhaps the most memorable year of President Obama’s two terms.

I had originally told Chips that I was going to come up with a memorable moment for each month. Then I was trying to look for a memorable moment for each day. The fact is, there were not many days that did not provide its own memorable moment and some days had more than one.

So then I tried to look at the entire year to see what all those possible memorable moments had in common and what the overall theme of this year was. And quite simply, as I was doing my considering I realized what our President reminded of…the old Timex commercials.

Basically, the commercials would show a Timex watch being subjected to all kinds of abuse, then there would be a close-up showing the watch still working. The tag line was “Timex, it takes a licking but keeps on ticking.”

And that is what this year has been like for the President. It started with all the abuse he was subjected to concerning Obamacare. Some of it was hangover from the initial website problems, but it kept building because of what supposed to be a failure of sufficient enrollment. Of course, President Obama kept his cool when all others were starting to panic (except those of us who knew better). He kept on ticking.
