How has President Obama performed over the past 30 days? How tough of a hand was he dealt coming into the White House? Does he own the economy now in political terms?

And is Obama making good use of his gift for speaking or is the new president overexposed? We ask Larry Sabato, professor of political science at the University of Virginia. He is also the author of the forthcoming book “The Year of Obama: How Barack Obama Won the White House”.
