It Is Such A Pleasure And A Learning Experience To Listen To President Obama At A Press Conference..

I'm right now listening to PBO at his press conference this a.m. and feel real good that this man is in charge of this country. One actually learns something about the issues when he answers his questions. I think back to the days of Dubya's press conferences and he was almost incoherent. What a contrast. I'm wondering if the White House Press Corps actually appreciates the difference?

So many times the naysayers get all the attention and their versions of issues hang out there unanswered. I always feel more enlightened after hearing the President's explanation of events and process.

For example, I did not know that 85% of ACA has been implemented. I really think that the information on health care has been so muddled and people simply do not know the truth. I also appreciated his rebuke of repub governors who are holding things up in their states.

What a blessed change of pace from the Silver Spoon c-student the Republicans inflicted upon America: AWOL Bumbler Boy (R).
