1. I watched this in "real time" ..it took some effort to get it from C-Span...

(maybe I'm clueless at working their site) but this is an EXCELLENT WATCH....even though it was hard to get wading through the C-Span site)

2. I'm beginning to not enjoy listening to him. He can say great things but then not fight for them.

When the Pugs whisper "boo" it's a whole new ballgame. The Dems react the same as the population of Monsters Inc to a baby.

3. Then don't listen.

Not commenting on it will be helpful.

4. Exactly.

5. I think he tried to answer the more "grilling questions" from the Intenational Reporters

in the best way he could, though. He looked very tired...and drifted off into "Econo Speak/Pentagon/Military Speak...and snips from former campaigns.

I think he was doing the best he could...given "who he is and what he's dealing with. " It can't be easy for him flying all over after this last election. He's gotta be feeling some big pain in his heart.
