Obama's popularity ratings went up 6-10 points (depending upon poll) when healthcare made it through the Senate, last I saw.

I guess I'm "the only person who knows" because I read newspapers and newsites other than Fox News? As you can see if you simply google those names, those incidents I posted (the AQ terrorists taken down) were all over multiple news sites, evening news, etc.

According to what I see - which is why I brought it up in the first place - the perception that Obama is weak in this area certainly doesn't match the reality so far in his administration.

As far as the recent security failure goes, as I've said, I would think there are plenty of inter- and intra- agency screwups to go around.

Perhaps it isnt highlighted because it simply isnt true? That is what logical people might assume.
