Obama Holds His First Press Conference as President
Remember what it was like when we had a President who knew what he was talking about? Obama's press conference today reminded me of those days.
I've put the whole 22 minutes of it below, but it's really the Q & A session with the reporters that impressed me. Obama is thoroughly conversant with the issues in this economic melt-down, sounds calm and reassuring (No "Crisis! Crisis! We're in a Crisis!"), has his own take on things, but prioritizes properly.
Can you imagine McCain standing up to a Q & A like that? Competence does count for something, doesn't it? This is not an "empty suit," guys.
