What's That In The Sky? It's Superprez!
Let's see what's on the public schedule today for President Obama.
Conduct a town meeting via the Internet with tens of thousands, do a bilingual appearance on Univsion. Get ready for the G-20 and NATO meeting next week, and meet with a bunch of CEOs tomorrow.
Fix the economy, and get his collage basketball brackets squared away. Obama is starting to appear to be Superprez.
He's everywhere at once. Simultaneously doing a dozen different things. The only thing missing is a cape or a mask.

It's not sexy or even vaguely threatening. But, it does have a way of deflecting sharp criticism, and maybe even saving the republic.
