Roy Sekoff On ‘Joy Behar’: Why Obama Shouldn’t Sweat His Bad Poll Numbers

I’m not super worried about Obama. Why? Perspective.
He is still the politician with most favorable rating. Higher than the Democrats. Even higher than the ‘thuglicans. All throughout all the screaming, whining and tantrums, he and his administration remain cool, calm, on script. McChrystal? Who? Spy swap? Handled, European crisis? Weathered. Health-care reform? Passed. Finreg? Signed next week. DADT? Getting there. Oil spill? Not so good, but being managed. China? We’re talking with them. Russia? Ditto. Israel? Same sh**, different crisis.
Overall demeanor throughout? Calm, handled. In control.
Is he perfect? Name a president who was. Learning? Looks like it.
Bonus: much of what he promised is done. Energy and immigration come next. Energy gets to debate soon. I think he’s going to do some lame duck trickery on immigration. Stay tuned.
You know what you do when a youngin’ throws a tantrum? Most times you just let it go until the energy runs out. Once the screamin’ inevitably falls on deaf ears, the real conversation begins.
