Meet the Pres

.
Wednesday's press conference with Barack Obama was a perfect example of a campaign team at the top of its game.

Consider if you will, a president who gives thoughtful, reasoned answers to difficult questions.
.....Barbeque sauce, sir, hot and tangy or original recipe?

Or a president who does not hide behind a press secretary whose sole function is to obfuscate and obliterate those oh-so-nuisance questions and answers while he Deciderates with his gut and the chip on his shoulder.
.....Iraq or Iran, sir, one bomb-bomb-bom...or two?

Yes, just imagine.

Which I imagine those people who saw even a portion of Obama's meet with the press yesterday, an extended press conference [carried live on CNN...] on challenging issues, not always giving the answers I would have hoped for, but yet.... responding in detail to reporters' questions on wide-ranging topics from the economy to urban crime thru the lens of cities like Chicago to the war. Thoughtful answers, reasoned, and with a comfort factor that the country will be in good hands led by Obama.

I can see this guy as the Pres.

Expect to see a regular series of these news conferences in upcoming months, because that's really what Wednesday's press event was all about.
