the first press conference

a few observations about obama's first press conference. strictly shallow, of course.

1) nice to see a president that doesn't mangle the english language.
2) when obama smiles, it's warm and inviting. when bush smiles, it's like he secretly spat in your soup before giving it to you. you know, it's that "gotcha!" smirk.
3) for the past eight years i found these press conferences both horrific and unbelievably amusing. oh how i long for those days. however, bush still has a couple more months in power, so one can hope.
