5. Are you kidding?
I disagree. I'm sure she's nervous, but she looks fine.

2. And are they actually doing a split screen with the faces?
What dopes. Obama handled the questions well.

3. Are they trying to stir up trouble?
After all, Obama is walking the walk of healing and the big media can't handle it. No trouble, no controversy. Hmmm... well the media has to create something, or at least try.

13. is a free press one that only asks question you like? Is the press "stirring up trouble" when they
questions you don't like?

i thought the questions needed to be asked.

Obama clearly said during the campaign that Hillary inflated her foreign policy experience. That's a fact.

So the question makes sense to ask. Obama answered it, and pretty well.


Personally, based on the Clinton primary campaign, based on her health care debacle, based on the history of intrigue and infighting surrounding the Hillary machine, I have my doubts about her executive abilities. Of course, I'm just an American citizen and not one of her peers.

So I hope I'm wrong and Obama is right. About her as SOS I mean, not about her padding her resume.

20. Goddam! I was just asking.
You need to lighten up. I did not see any of the press conference. So don't climb inside my ass and accuse me of anything. I am entitled to ask questions as well. But not around touchy people I guess.

4. And then events will take over and they'll have to write about adult stuff again
Do what Obama will do; pay no attention.

7. If the press was 1/10 as diligent on asking questions of bush as they are of Obama
thing might be different

12. I think Obama can use that to his advantage. He can throw them
some meat any time about that and they will eat it up and leave him alone.

15. I think Obama should grab Hillary around the waist and give her
an openmouthed kiss right at the podium.

That oughta shut them up.

16. Well, That WOULD shut them up,
but he then would have plenty of explaining to do to Michelle and Bill. Let alone a surprised Hillary. Though it would be quite funny to see the media explode.

18. Hillary standing there stunned as Obama gives her that big grin of his...
of course, that would set off the racists about Obama "STEELIN THEIR WIMMINFOLKS".

19. Wow, I hadn't thought of that.

A lot of heads would explode: the media, the LW, the RW, the racists, the moralists, the religious crowd, etc.

He should finish by saying ala Blazing Saddles: Hey, where are the white women at?

Nothing better than pissing off everybody at the same time.

21. Eew YUCK!
If you think Obama would toss over Michelle for Hillary... sheesh. She is not meek and mild. Even if she didn't kill him, I'm sure they'd be sleeping in separate beds for a long time, and Obama wouldn't look as happy as he does currently.

I'm sorry. It's just unthinkable.

I think he'd kiss Joe Biden before he'd kiss Hillary. VP outranks Secretary of State. And I guess he'd have to kiss Nancy Pelosi, too.
