Obama's press conference was reassuring. That's presidential.
Watched it on MSNBC. Everyone in media who said he is not showing leadership is full of shit.

2. Yup. And HE plans to be in Mississippi-HOPES to have a debate. Otherwise, he'll
do it himself!

4. Yep. Husband and I are very impressed.
I loved when he addressed what "bi-partisanship" really means.

7. Wow, it seems like he can actually think and talk at the same time!
Sarah, you should be taking notes. Um, if you can listen and take notes at the same time.

GOBAMA!

9. "Grace under pressure"
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 06:26 PM by ailsagirl
Can you imagine the pressure he is under? Yet he's totally cool about it. Maybe he goes home every night and has a panic attack but I don't think so!! :=)

Bobby Kennedy used to say, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Miss him.

Grace personified.

10. Is there video up of this yet?
All I can find is one of him talking directly to the camera but no video of him taking questions.

11. I fell asleep and woke up to the replay and thought, "My god, I might be able to sleep tonight. This
man calms me." In circumstances like this, people DO go with their gut, like at no other time.

The media will NOT win this one with their spin. And the Republicans won't be able to convince anyone who doesn't already lean that way, that McCain is Presidential.

14. I've been impressed with his calm leadership.
He has kept in touch with Congressional leaders and the Treasury Secretary while campaigning.

He can multitask. No mental confusion for him when handling multiple issues.

15. That's why he is ready for any debate.
Preparation isn't necessary anymore. he's living it.
