I like it! The only problem I see with it is Obama has NEVER had a sense of reality, even before he became POTUS. He doesn't know what reality IS. Even if he had such an advisor, he wouldn't be able to understand what he was being told.
President: Won't they think I'm weak?
SAR: No. They'll think you returned to Planet Earth. They'll think ground control broke through to Major Tom…
:D

Just think of it as a way to stimulate the economy and create jobs. The advisor will need a staff of translators, who will all need to be trained by experts in the field of "reality" ...

Maybe they can hire Bill Hillar for that!

And you will need to hire a staff to find him and pull him from his hidey hole in whatever part of the world he ran off to. The jobs keep multiplying. :D

Looks like we're too late. There's already been a reality check badge put out by the WH.

And that is the proof in the pudding that they have no idea of what reality actually is.

One of the best management books written is Up the Organization, by Robert Townsend (1970), following his tenure as CEO of Avis-Rent-a-Car. When he took over the struggling company in 1962, Townsend armed an Avis executive with a bullhorn and gave instructions to loudly tell him when he was screwing things up. That was a true reality check.
