This is a neutral effect. Many, (manymanymany) times politicians attract the attention of the press. This practically always presents the opportunity to portray the politician as a target by some.

He may well be distracted, there's a lot going on in a situation like this. But I don't see how this has impacted his job performance. EVERYBODY has stuff going on, and the magnitude of these kinds of events runs the gamut from trivial to catastrophic. How each of us behaves in the face of this universal human condition is what *I* believe should be the evidence on which we should base our judgement.

Is he getting his job done?

--as an aside--
For those that have their morality offended, I would observe that there are reports that his wife has made a statement that she'll stand by him. Would those calling for his resignation question her judgement too?
