Anyone catch the talk amongst the press after Obama's presser?

"Don't be a stranger!"

"That's it?"

Obama really needs to do more of these. Free advertising - promotes foreign policy experience - keeps him in good with the press (sort of).

Being out on the stump, meeting actual voters and nailing the issues, pointing out the lies of Romney/Ryan gains more as does talking to local area media, imo.

I'm thinking this was a response to that fact being brought up last week--

there will probably be more since the election is coming up--Obama doesn't want people to get tired of him being on TV all the time, like I did with Bush (I would cringe and lunge for the off button)
