How do you think President Barack Obama is handling the oil spill in the Gulf? I ask the question a bit facetiously. The president is not a safety engineer, and the oil spill is the result of the private market at its best, or in this at its worst, with the breathless reports coming down daily about how the various entities involved took numerous shortcuts in advance of the disaster that in hindsight seems to have been inevitable.
That said, pollsters, being pollsters, have to ask the question.
