Barack Obama Jumps the Shark
By Stuart Schwartz
Barack Obama has jumped the shark.
This past week was when the forty-fourth president of the United States tugged on his leather jacket, strapped on his water skis, roared off behind a motorboat and fearlessly jumped over a live shark
The term "jump the shark" comes from a late seventies Happy Days episode when the series, desperately trying to stop its ratings slide, had the character Fonzie, in his trademark leather jacket, water ski over a shark during a visit to Hollywood. Since then, a show or movie series that tries increasingly more desperate moves as its audience disappears is said to have "jumped the shark."

Ever since the Bernie Madoff scandal, the similarities to the Ponzi schemer's family and that of the dysfunctional Bluth's on Arrested Development have grown exponentially. Maybe Bernie Madoff is just a viral marketing scheme for the A.D. movie that may or may not be in production?
