President Obama

For Obama, the Risk of Too Much Exposure

Will Americans get tired of seeing the president and tune him out?

Posted April 2, 2009

For now, Obama shows no sign of limiting his visibility. He has told aides he wants to have a prime-time news conference at least once a month, more regularly than any chief executive in years. And he plans to get his message out with a heavy schedule of speeches and interviews, by traveling outside Washington, and by using the Internet. On March 26, for instance, he held what was billed as the first-ever Presidential "Internet Town Hall" meeting, taking questions from the public through the White House website.

In short, Obama doesn't think being a frequent guest in America's living rooms will wear out his welcome. In fact, he thinks people will want him to stick around and chat for a while.
