President Barack Obama has been keeping busy lately, but he hasn't been solely focused on political issues. Television and radio spots have seem to take a big priority for Mr. Obama.
Obama is taking part in an audio ad for Calif. Senator Barbara Boxer. In the audio, he is saying, “This is Barack Obama. On Nov 2, California has a choice and the stakes couldn’t be higher.” It is unusual for Obama to appear in an ad like this, and his appearance is causing some sparks of controversy.
Also, Obama is scheduled to appear on an episode of Discovery Channel's "Mythbusters." He will be helping to determine whether the Greek scientist Archimedes really set fire to an invading Roman fleet using only mirrors and the reflected rays of the sun. This episode is due to air on Dec. 8.

It seems as though Obama is again focusing too much on media rather than political duties. After being used by Republicans in ways against Democrats, he is making an appearance in a radio spot. He is using the "Mythbusters" appearance to spark interest in the White House effort to promote math and science. Should he be worried about politics in California and increasing American competition in math and science? It seems unnecessary when new talks of Osama bin Laden's activities and location are going on. American safety is more important than math, science, or California Democrats.
