Barack Obama and family playing out in pop culture, sick of it?

It seems like everywhere I turn; on the radio, in the paper, on TV, and in conversation, people are talking about the Obama family like movie stars...and I hate that so many people are so stuck on the trivialities of the trivial lives of celebrities...but at the same time give heed to those people's politically charged voice...especially since most all celebrities are less than average people with a skewed sense of what the average person's reality is. This is all the same, but a bit inverted. Has the backbone of our country (the people) gone so soft they are now only interested in what brand of shoes the Obamas wear, so they too can be so hip? What happened to being concerned about the character of the people running the government and how their decisions will impact the future of our country? Is this done so when we all loose our freedoms and liberty, we won't even notice it? Come the heck on! Barack Obama is a brilliant man and some of his politics are a bit far off on the left side of things. For instance; if few people are thinking about what it means for the government to control the banks, but instead are watching his children grow up in a protected and privileged world, then we are doomed to a fate in this country of being slaves to the all powerful and controlling government. And we will like it because that is what we were told was best for us.

No matter what else I write in here it will come off to some as far right BS, but my question for everyone is; do you also see what I am talking about as far as our mindless pop culture is concerned? I just want to find out if it is time to head for the hills or not:)
Say tonlac2, the question is about how aware people are on this site.
 
The entire campaign, election and his Presidency so far has been one big 'reality' show.
