Who Loves Ya, Baby?
Apparently, fewer and fewer:
Has Obama hit the end of the honeymoon at 60 days in office? According to a new Zogby poll, Obama has hit 50% in his latest job-approval polls. The Boston Herald covers the details offered by the pollster:
Pollster John Zogby said his poll out today will show Americans split on the president’s performance. He said the score factors out to “about 50-50.”
Some polls show Obama coasting with a 65 percent job approval, but not in Zogby’s tally.
“The numbers are going down,” Zogby told the Herald. “It’s not because of the gaffes, but a combination of high expectations and that things aren’t moving fast enough with the economy.”
The Herald also spoke with a communications professor at Boston University, who believes that Obama has mismanaged his media appearances. Toby Berkovitz says Obama has become overexposed and needs to be seen working rather than campaigning. “I wonder when the public will say ‘Instead of being in front of the camera, be in front of a spreadsheet.’ ”
As if he could read a spreadsheet. If it ain’t on a Telepromter he can’t read it at all, isn’t that right, TOTUS?
Don’t get in a lather about the scripted nature of the event. It’s true the Bush Administration never rehearsed with their press corps, but no one ever wanted to actually watch their primetime specials. “The Obama Show” is a primetime info-tainment show, like “Access Hollywood” and “Countdown with Keith Olbermann.” We need to rehearse.
I have to say, The Boss was on fire today at rehearsal. We worked extra hard on his pointing. So when David Gregory asks the third question of the night, The Man will wheel around and point emphatically at him to reinforce his resilience and long fingers.
He’ll need long fingers to hold on to his popularity. Picture the Coyote clutching a scrawny plant after having gone off a cliff in pursuit of the Road Runner. It won’t be long before Obama will plummet from sight and crash with a cloud of dust.
The alligator’s jaws are closing:

Can we get Biden and Congress to accompany him on that trip?
