Within the last week, President Obama has appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, 60 Minutes, and just yesterday authored an op-ed that ran in 31 newspapers worldwide and held a prime-time news conference. Many view Obama's forays into the media as a way to gain support for his agenda by appealing directly to his popularity at home and overseas. Is his media tour working? Do you think differently of President Obama after watching his latest appearances on TV or reading yesterday's op-ed? Post your thoughts.

Obama is doing exactly what he should be doing,he will not be campaigning if Washington will allow him to do the things that he promised to do during his actual campaign. In fact I am tired of the politicians whose goals are mainly that of opposition, they are all hypocrites who had no problem running up trillions of dollars during the last eight years and suddenly they care about the deficit.

Obama should be given equall time to see how he performs. The war was important to Bush and he had his war approved so let Obama do the things that he feels are important which is his budget. I like seeing him reach out to main street, no other president cared much about the middle class.
