Here is a Presser from 03/29/2001..Just to Compare the Questions and the Tone of the Media

Just to compare the quality of the questions and the tone of the media.. I thought it might be fun to look back. So here is a press conference from about the same time in Bush's Term in Office.

See what you think if you can stand it...

Pres. Obama Gives His 2nd Press Conference.. Everyone Goes Crazy.

Why does everyone think this is so wild... Pres. Obama said he would do 1 press conference a month or so and he is trying to keep his word. So, why is everyone freaking out about this??

It is about an hour long.. so it is up to you if you want to watch it.. but thought I would warn you it is that long. It is so nice to have a president who actually talks to us like we have a brain, we can understand more than simple words.

There were only a couple of times, I thought it got a little off the wall, once was with Ed Henry, of CNN, (of course) who asked why it took him a couple of days to come out and say he was angry about AIG... the President's answer, Because he wanted to make sure he had all the answers before he spoke. Sure makes sense to me.

The other was Chip Reid...He usually asks pretty silly questions. I think he is the one who called Gibbs out the other day for pushing back against Cheney. But enough of this. Here is the video of the press conference of the president if you care to watch it. I hope you enjoy.
