The gist: If the Obamas - with Mom committed to her various causes and Dad trying to save the free world - can still find time for each other, hey, lame husband sitting on the couch watching sports, time to step it up. The writer suggests that the President has placed an "elbow in the ribs of husbands," while Jon Stewart has joked, "Take it down a notch, dude."
