Very good (Teddy - 11/7/2008 10:11:47 PM)
So this man "lacks experience," eh? Certainly did not show here, he handled the press better than the present occupant of the job to which he's been elected, in my opinion... not that that's saying much. I was very pleased with the quality of his answers. He was clearly in control, diplomatic and presidential. How wonderful and comforting to have a President who can think on his feet, speak extemporaneously in complete sentences, and obviously does not fear questions; he even showed human interest in a wounded press warrior. Also, appreciated his deliberate emphasis that "the United States has only one government and one president at a time,"  which shows respect for the office and the country, and for the Constitution.
