I mean this as an unqualified compliment of the president
You don't have to agree with any of his answers to admire - no, to be proud of - how good it is to have a president who actually thinks and speaks in complex terms set out in easy to understand words.

The repubicans don't come close to offering this sort of person to the country.





Context: today's Wall Street "Town Hall Meeting"

11. My 13 year old son, after watching the education speech the other day,
told me he really appreciated that President Obama spoke to him like a peer, rather than down to him like Bush did. He said he made him think.

I feel the same. Spell out the problem and the difficulties and I can make my own decisions. My President respects me--and I him.

13. Don't get ahead of things
Lots of people here in River City like to see me as a malcontent and hater. I'm not. I just apply my own filter

16. Thank you Stinky! I could not agree more. What a refreshing change to have a President
that does not mangle the English language every time he opens his mouth, not to mention does not accompany every comment with a "frat boy" smirk.

17. you won't find another Obama anytime soon.
best we support him, as he's said himself he certainly isn't perfect,

but I can't think of anyone else with as much smarts and a good heart and mind to take on the enormous mess the robber barons have left behind.

18. It's a shame to be proud that we have a president who actually fields unscreened questions. nt
