A Breath of Cool Air

In today's prime-time press conference, reporters hurled many questions at president Obama, including--according to msnbc.com:

— Afghanistan: He said it was too early to give a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country.

— Iran: He is "looking for openings" in the coming months to start face-to-face talks.

— Bank bailout: He was not sure if the government would need more than the remaining $350 billion of bank bailout funds to restore the ailing U.S. financial system. He said his first task would be making sure those funds were spent wisely and with transparency.

— Alex Rodriguez: Obama described the baseball star's admission that he used a banned substance "depressing news on top of what’s been a flurry of depressing items when it comes to major league baseball."

All I can say is thank God. Obama has expressed his views on A-Rod.

Tonight I will sleep like a baby, but tomorrow Obama must speak to the inexplicable fame of David Archuleta.

  1. I want to see the c-span coverage of the press corps after the conference.
    Really? You asked Obama about A-rod? Really?
    That's when I realized they don't just let reporters in there, they let reporters with Down Syndrome in there.

    Okay, I think I can explain Archuleta: He's famous 'cause he's so darn cute!...no, that's just not true, he's goofy-looking. Kids like that get beat up and laughed at by girls. Okay, maybe because he's such a better singer than anyone else out there...dammit, no again! Sorry, I guess Congress will have to pass a bill declaring his mandatory popularity, along with money for condoms, frisbee parks, and 530 other pork projects.
