This report of Obama's first news conference, while a bit biased if you don't like Obama, was just what this country needed, a person able to answer questions without bumbling every answer. Agree or disagree, his answers were precise and could be understood by most Americans, unlike Bush who could not even understand himself.
After a week start, Obama is finally acting like the President we elected. Now that he has quit cuddling up to the Republicans, and started taking his case to his base, the American People, agree or disagree, we will have a stimulus package. I wish he had time to let the Republicans filibuster, that would be one hell of a site.
