Give me a break. There is huge drama and controversy over an air traffic controller bringing his child to work and having him give directions to pilots at JFK Airport in New York.

I think it’s cute. And it’s not like he was going to say anything that put anyone at risk – it’s not like his dad left him alone to have a cigarette break or something. “Here buddy, you take over, I gotta get a smoke.”

National Journal’s Hotline reports that President Obama’s approval numbers are at an all-time low.  Not exactly what the White House had planned as the reaction to the State of the Union.

As a good friend of mine predicted before the speech, Obama “doubled down” on defending his policies and not moderating this actions. Even his so-called “spending freeze” was pushed off a year – to the literal laughter of Congress.

Obama has reacted by saying that he would rather be a great one-term President than a mediocre two-term President. The problem with his comment is that if a President is great, he gets reelected. Think about it. Other than JFK, name a “great” one term President.
