I expect that he might get a little better, but he did not come across well at this press conference. He looked very uncomfortable.

His attempts at glibness were awkward; his feighned interest in a reporter wearing a sling was just as bad.

I'm thinking this guy thinks he's a Jack Kennedy in front of the press, but it turns out, at least this time, he fell very flat. They'll cover for him as much as possible, but I don't think he's going to do much live stuff.

With his cult of personality, I figure he's more likely to release videos instead speaking to the press live. He may even require the press to submit their questions ahead of time.

“OMG... what ... seance for REAGan...

Spoke to all the living presidents?????”

I was worse than that, tomnbeverly! He said something to the effect that he skipped Nancy Reagan, wasn’t into a seance...

He is an @ssh@le. That was totally uncalled for

“Here’s the contrast:
CBS does an interview with Palin and has to edit it to make her look bad. An unedited showing and she would have looked good.

Obama does a presser and it will have to be edited to make him look good and the unedited version makes him look like the idoit he is.”

That’s it! We should all become editors!!!! Apparently there is great job security in being an editor, esp. for the next 4 years.

“Noob” isn’t a name, it’s fact. You’ve been here a month.

Don’t tell me what to get used to and we’ll be just fine.

I don’t understand it. The Annointed One spoke and the stock market falls, unemployment goes up, and we are preparing for war with Iran. How can this be.

“It is not going to be easy for us to dig ourselves out of the hole that we are in,” Obama said.”

Especially if you folks in DC keep doing the same thing over and over.
I hate this “New Direction”.

You can't trust people with secret ballots, ---you never know how they might vote. This goes double for working stiffs. If they have a secret ballot how will they know to vote the Democrats want them to?

THAT'S Another issue the McCain Team surrendered on. Nothing more basic to democracy than the secret ballot.

The guy is a mental lightweight who has no answers. He will always have preplanned questions and the MSM will cover him.

Remember, journalism no longer exists. We just watch extensions of the DNC cover for their Fraud In Chief.

Wes Pruden’s description of him as “humorless” was right on target. When he wandered off script during the last debate, he made no sense. I think your observations are correct.

If you have Time-Warner, you can rent a DVR from them. I do and use it all the time so I can fast-forward through the commercials. DVR’s are also good for pausing any program, rewinding a segment of a news station if I miss what someone said or catch the tail-end of something scrolling along the banner at the bottom of the screen. My Time-Warner here has even started allowing us to start a program over again at the beginning if we’ve turned the channel during the middle of it. TiVo’s okay, but if you have to buy the machine, you might be better off using Time-Warner’s DVR. At least if something goes wrong with the DVR, they replace it for nothing. I think my cost for the DVR is about $15 each month. To me it’s well worth it.
