Admittedly, I did not watch the presidential press conference last night, as I was holed up with Marketing discussing creative directions with the site. Truth be told, I wouldn’t have watched it anyway, at least not while Obama’s still on honeymoon with the press. Depending on how the next year or two goes, those press conferences might actually be fun to watch.
I did manage to watch a few clips of responses, and a few thoughts come to mind:
- As eloquent a speaker President Obama is with prepared material, he’s just not very good extemporaneously. And that’s OK, it’s an incredibly difficult skill set to develop – just ask his predecessor.
- “So-called terrorists” – could someone please chloroform Helen Thomas before the next press conference?
- The “it was like this when I got here” excuse will wear thin with the press and the public soon. Like now.

No it won't.
The press will feed off the public's frustration soon enough.

Eloquent?
Just don't call him "articulate".
