Positive Obama coverage

There isn't much of it:

Though covered largely as president rather than a candidate, negative assessments of Obama have outweighed positive by a ratio of almost 4-1. Those assessments of the president have also been substantially more negative than positive every one of the 23 weeks studied. And in no week during these five months was more than 10% of the coverage about the president positive in tone.

That is, according to a new study from Pew Research. It shouldn't be particularly surprising: the president is almost always going to be subject to more scrutiny, criticism and scorn. Why? Because he (or, in the future perhaps, she) makes important decisions publicly on a daily basis. Where presidential hopefuls can simply hide their mistakes or bury them behind press releases, the president himself must be subjected regularly to the scrutiny of the world's media.

Besides, people rarely have anything 'positive' to say about the incumbent.
