I am watching the President's press conference right now, and am compelled to make a few observations:
1. I can clearly see why he only does this when necessary.
2. Seriously, I hate the faces he makes. He smiles awkwardly at inappropriate times. If the sound were off, I'd think I was watching an Adam Sandler impressionist.
3. He knows every reporters name, and even their nicknames ("stretch, you mind if I call you that?"). Isn't it great that the same small group of citizens are the only people given the opportunity to question authority? That's really what sparked the need to express my disgust. "Stretch" is the man asking the tough questions. They ask the same soft questions and get the same sound bytes ("we're fighting them abroad so we don't have to fight them here at home"). I know he's trying to show his affability, but all I think is that he keeps serving the same bull shit to the same ass kissers.
4. He just said "penishula."
5. No wonder no one pays attention to politics. Is the O.C. on?
