First Door on the Left

President Obama held his second prime time press conference this evening. I personally think he did quite well considering the press corps that he had to work with. Here is but one example…

I do not believe the members of the White House press corps have quite adjusted yet to having an intelligent and articulate man behind the podium. They are still acting and thinking at George W. Bush’s level. Most if not all of what President Obama had to say tonight went right over their heads. Some of their questions were just plain silly if not downright stupid. (I am really amazed that Chip Reid is even still employed.) You really had to admire the patience that the President displayed. I am sure there were several moments when he just wanted to turn around and walk out of the room. Had it been me, I probably would have.

I’ll try to have a complete transcript and possibly video of the evening’s proceedings when and if they become available.

UPDATE: Transcript available here.

UPDATE #2: Here is video of the entire press conference:

Open for Questions

Note that 1)This is being touted as an “experiment”; 2) the first round of questions are about the economy; and 3) answers will be posted Thursday.
 

One of the silliest lines of attack that many on the right have chosen to take against President Obama is his use of a teleprompter…

So much for that.
