3. If a = fucking brilliant, I'm choosing a!
Smooth, very smooth.

"I like to know what I'm talking about."

"This is more like an ocean liner than a speedboat."

10. Agreed...
though I will say that I felt the questions were pathetic. They could have asked far better questions.

The President will answer user rated questions this Thursday!

8. At first I was getting restless again about why President Obama was taking so long to answer a
question.

Then I had to remember that he was giving detailed answers to complex issues and questions.

I've been spoiled too much (as in brain rot) by Bushie's amateurish crap responses.


Therefore, President Obama gets an A.

:D

17. He kind of lost me at a couple of points too
as I'm sure he did to most of the brain-dead reporters there. However, I think that I'm in the same boat as you are. The last eight years I myself have been subjected to Bush's craptacular press conferences (whenever he deigned to give them anyway)

11. Enjoyed opening statement: "limited prosperity" talking about past 8 years.
Next time, he shouldn't invite the press, they were boring. I know, it wouldn't be the same without them. In fact it wouldn't be a press conference. But still, that question about stem cells. Are they that stupid, that full of nonsense? Where were the questions about bush's wars and bush's torture chambers or bush's dirty hospitals? At least Obama did mention the veterans. See--the press is superfluous.

15. Oh yes we do!! Don't you recall the photo of Obama captioned:
"CHILL THE F*** OUT, I GOT THIS!"

??

(sorry for the caps - and sorry I don't have the image to include but it's on this site somewhere... that's the epitome of a DU "F" in my view...)

: )

16. He gets an "A" from me
for the single fact that there is NO f******g way I could've handled most (if not all) of the right-wing meme-inspired questions without slapping the questioners silly or at least coming up with some snarky responses to them. He not only refused to do that but also rationally and methodically- and with as much patience as I'm sure he could muster- answered each and every question he was asked in a serious and commanding manner.
