WOW. A press conference that's intellectual. WTF is going on?

[Postman]

It's refreshing to hear complete sentences.

Obama on CNN giving a presser...

[global1]

1. Very Presidential..........

I think cuts from this presser should be used in a Obama GE campaign commercial.

2. He's doing great today...

...and it's only 2:30ish on the east coast

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. I know, even looking forwards to a STATE OF THE UNION

and not just readying the damn thing on the net later on...

Oh and not throwing shoes at the teevee when the monkey comes on

[BrklynLib at work]

12. My EXACT sentiments. The image or voice of prez shit-for-brains is like fingernails on a chalkboard

I get CRAZY, and have to turn it off.

[nichomachus]

4. Not good. Americans don't like intellectual. They like dumb.

:sarcasm:

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. Sarcasm intended, but unfortunately, I feel it is largely true... witness TV!

Ratings! Movies that do best at the box office...I wish it were not so!

[Harry Monroe]

9. Unfortunately, you may be right

Despite the sarcasm.

[medeak]

5. tying Bush and McCain together at the hip

that's the winner's road!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

7. If you ever get the chance

to watch old films of JFK's press conferences, grab it. The man spoke in complete paragraphs. His wit was quick and lively and dead right on. He was an absolute joy to behold. Obama is like that, perhaps more serious, but still, he's got it.

8. God I miss that in a President

I had my differences with Clinton but at least the man could speak and speak well. Obama is a fantastic speaker.

10. That's exactly what I was thinking.

What a night and day contrast to the short-school bus riding, gelatinous-headed moron we've had to listen to for eight years. For me, it was actually about six months, I couldn't take any more after that. I'd just read the transcript if I wanted to know what he said.

Not only was it intelligible, it was intelligent. It corresponded to reality. Again, after eight years of people saying the sky is green and the grass is blue, it's almost startling. A distant memory coming back.

11. and no heh-heh-heh & nicknames

how refreshing:)
