Comments on The President-Elect's First Press Conference
An articulate man as president. A long 8 years are almost over.
Helen Thomas is turning over in her grave. Oops she's not dead....
I, uh.. can't wait, uh.. until Obama, uh.. is President. It's great, uh... how much he, uh... recognizes how difficult it, uh... will be.
At 7:15, that fist-closed-thumb-up to punch a few words-- Did he steal that from Clinton? It was his trademark gesture. Hannah made it a staple of his SNL bits.
Oh, PS, NEW-klee-er. I'm so happy, I could dance!
(1) Who is the doughy old white boy behind him (camera right)? He should never be allowed in front of a camera again. Ever.
(2) Wow. This is what it looks like to watch a smart articulate president to hold a press conference.
(3) I love his smile. God. I think I'm becoming infatuated with our next president.
#3-- Shit, it's almost like he's thinking before he says something.
I agree with 6 on that brilliant smile. And like most others, it feels damn good to see an articulate president (elect). But seriously, doesn't the poor guy deserve a full night's sleep?
he looks soooo sleepy and yet he's doing more "only 3 days after the election" "I'm not the president yet" than bush is doing right now.
thanks for linking this - I want so much to hear everything he has to say and that's such a welcome change.
I know the law or constitution sayd otherwise, but couldn't doofus just move into a spare bedroom of the whitehouse and let President Obama get started now. Former "president" doofus could lead the whitehouse tours, pickup around the house in the evenings, ride this bicycle around the rose garden in the meantime.
The more I watch him the more I am so very very excited.
Sigh.
@6: 1) That's Paul Volker former Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
If you want all of Obama's staff and consultants to be photogenic, then you are a silly shallow twit.
"That's why I ran. For President."
I just keep falling in love with this guy, over and over and over...
best part for me: "when i am president".
oh, and fuck you @3.
To reiterate other comments: I've a good feeling about the next four years, watching that.
well, he's off to a start. nice job not answering the tax hike question. very short on specifics. i love the guy, but here we go again.
"that's why i ran ..." (little smile) "for president"
i'm the president. did i mention that? i'm the president. the first black president. you might have heard something about it. yeah, that's me. that's why i ran.
booyah!
