Over the past week, Obama has barnstormed the nation's televisions, with repeated town halls in California, a seat on Jay Leno's couch, a big 60 Minutes splash on Sunday, and now a prime-time press conference. Even those who eschew politics have most likely seen a clip or two of their President in charge, projecting confidence, explaining that things will get better.
