5. Excellent! Of course I have not listened to a
"presidential" news conference for the past 8 years, so I forgot what to judge him against.

8. Superb.
An absolute joy to watch.

He's in complete control. He gives detailed, thoughtful, intelligent responses to all questions.

My question is about how the reporters are chosen who get to ask a question. Is it some kind of lottery?

11. Even Chris Matthews was VERY impressed. Up 'til now, he thought Obama didn't explain
himself very well. "He was at his best intellectually." WOW!

18. He did a great job!


However I do agree with NBC on their wrap up coverage. He should have started this sooner.
