Why does putting Obama's name on a totally ridiculous idea make it sound so appealing to people? People get paid for what they produce, not for what they will produce.

As far as publishers go -- they kind of remind me of Dr. Kelso in Scrubs. Everybody hates them because they're jerks, but they're good at what they do and they keep everything running in a way that ultimately serves the public best.
And since I watch Scrubs, I totally get what you are saying.
