Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania is one of those who I would categorize as an adult in politics. I do not agree with his views for the most part, but he is responsible and not given to hyperbole. He also is a savvy politician.
Rendell made news this week when he criticized prsident Obama for going on "the View". According to Rendell, The view is not sufficiently serious to be the appropriate forum for the president.
I have to say I agree with Rendell. The president of the United States has a gravitas that needs to be preserved. he should be though of as The President and not just some celebrity who happens to be in politics. Obama likes to play the role of a common man even though he clearly thinks that his is not common in the least. Appearing on The View, however, has Obama giving up some of his moral position and moving more towards a being a pop celebrity.
