    Obama Report Card: Media Blitz!

    Posted:
    03/24/09
    I heard a pundit this Sunday (forgive me, I can no longer remember who) point out that the Obama administration's biggest asset may just be, well, Obama. Totus jokes aside, Obama's public persona was widely praised during the campaign, and some have gone so far as to take the mantle of "Great Communicator" away from Reagan, and hand it to the current president.

    So in light of his dipping poll numbers, perhaps team Obama decided that it was time to roll their big gun in front of the cameras. He hit ESPN, Leno, and 60 Minutes recently, and will be holding a live press conference tonight in prime time (which we'll be covering live via Twitter, join us at 8:00 pm EST!).

    So how is he doing? I thought I'd add a new category to the Obama Report Card today so that you can grade the president on his public appearances. Vote now, or wait until after the press conference tonight to weigh in.
