He WAS awesome, wasn't he? And it occurred to me that I hadn't watched a Presidential press conference since Clinton! Did you catch the detail(s) on EVERY subject that he had in his head? Talk about doing your homework! And I was on the FLOOR when the conference ended. He said goodnight, turned around, and strode out! I gotta say, I'm glad to be related to this man! Maurice Hussein Ojennings! :o)

Buddy was on: lecturing in his answers to the press (have you ever heard such long detailed answers from a Prez?)...pointing the finger back at the Republicans ("I'm a little sensitive taking criticism from people who presided over a doubling of the deficit...I inherited this from eight years' worth of failed policy"). I was struck at the stern nature of his town, the passionate, almost angry words he used when pointing out how he's tried to extend an olive branch to the Republicans, only to have it thrown back at him. It was a brilliant, natural move, showing the other side he's only going to be nice so long, and then that street side is coming out! Smooth as always, Obama's words nonetheless said, "Okay, i tried to be nice, but i ain't gonna let you punk me!" Black indeed. And did you catch him continually talking about putting money in American's "pockets"? Can't remember when I've heard a leader use that term. Usually they speak of putting the money in people's wallets, hands, or bank accounts. But "putting money in your pocket"? That's a phrase I heard used all the time in my neighborhood. Black indeed...
