Quickie: Assessing the first 6 months

By GottaLaff

Today's Quickie:

Mark Knoller via Twitter: WH says Pres. Obama will be hosting a Cabinet and White House staff summit this weekend to assess Administration's first six months.

[Laffy Note: His approval ratings are gradually dropping].

That was today's Quickie. Will you still respect me in the morning?

VIDEO: Giuliani, Romney, McCain supporter Jack Welch gives Obama high marks

By GottaLaff


To quote Randy Jackson, check it out, dawg:

He was a supporter of former Republican presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and John McCain, but former GE CEO Jack Welch said Sunday President Obama deserves high marks for his initial months as commander-in-chief. [...]

"[I] like the way he's expressing a vision, the way he's brought a team together," Welch said. "He's done the vision thing, he's a great communicator and he's got a team-building skill that is really working."

As for his Strasbourg town-hall meeting:

"He didn't make one misstep — I thought his press conference in Strasbourg was an incredible job. The idea of explaining American exceptionalism in the context of Europe was as masterful a speech as I've ever heard."

"Masterful". Now imagine, if you dare, J Sid McCain giving a comparable speech and/or a presser (as if he'd ever do a Q and A in "old Europe"). "Pitiful" v. "Masterful".
