Obama sure is long winded - he was only supposed to speak for 10 minutes they said.

[keep_it_real]

I don't mind these questions need answering.

[Fleshdancer]

1. His speech before taking questions was only 10 minutes or so

The question/answer period was expected to take much longer.

2. This news conference is better than sex.

:evilgrin:

[Inchworm]

6. Yup!

I feel so good for my grandson! What a time to be growing up!

:woohoo:

[JayMusgrove]

12. NO, sex is still better in MY life, but..........

a good meal in an exclusive restaurant is second,

This is third on my list.

[seaker]

16. Not in my life

:fistbump:

[NYC_SKP]

17. Oh, my!

:pals: :hug:

[Pirate Smile]

3. Initial statement 8-10 minutes followed by 40-45 minutes of Q & A.

4. My wife, a lifelong Republican, just turned to me and said

Wow, he gives thoughtful, intelligent answers, doesn't he?

I replied that it's refreshing, when he's challenged with a question, you hear something other than a chuckle and an insult.

[RollWithIt]

5. Long Winded? How about "Well Versed"

He's amazing.

7. Epic fail on the OP's part...

His speech at the beginning was scheduled for 10 minutes. Guess what? He spoke for 10 minutes. The rest of the hour is dedicated to a Q&A session with the media. What, you expected the entire thing including the Q&A to be 10 mins? LOL.

[Clio the Leo]

8. lol, that reminds me of the Saddleback "Debate"

... where Barack went over and McCain finished 10 mins early .... and got an extra question because of it lol

[LiberalFighter]

9. I wished they had focused on economic questions.

[Starry Messenger]

10. They are complaining about this on FR.

He's cutting into '24'"!!!11 I guess they really do prefer a fictional government with a pretend president!

[CakeGrrl]

11. He can be as "long-winded" as he wants. It's great to hear an intelligent president speak. n/t

[DeeDeeNY]

13. He called on Helen. Hurray!

:bounce:

She looks great!!

[Amimnoch]

I love it! A president that can speak in complete sentences!

He actually knows how to pronounce words correctly!
He actually addresses the American people (as well as the people of the world) in a dignified way!

Such a refreshing change.

[Cleita]

14. I don't either. He is at least giving us an idea of what he's thinking and

that's good.
