MamaJD, who accompanied PapaJD on a short trip to the Bay Area, emails: "We ended up staying at the hotel that held an honest to goodness old fashioned San Francisco Democratic fundraiser for the DNC that included a speech from President Obama. The area around our hotel was inundated with polar opposite protests like Code Pinker and tea party people. The hotel was swarmed with Secret Service and gawkers. Never saw the President but his motorcade was awesome with the high speed precision of the SUVs and police escort. Our room is six floors off the street and this pic includes a small portion of the protests going on. Thank goodness Pres. Obama returned to Air Force One so the loud angry people could go home. (MamaJD sent the photo from her Iphone, along with video of the crowd chanting, which went on for hours.)

Question: I saw a poll this week that shows Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is more popular than President Obama. Is this something that simply goes with the territory. Or is the president losing the enormous popularity that he started with?
