I was actually surprised at how many questions he took. Then I started noticing a lot of the reporters were unrecognizable faces... except the Sam Stein guy, I've seen him on TV a few times.

What struck me was the completeness of his answers. He was talking as if he actually understood what was going on.

One other thing that caught my attention was the couple of times that he said "This is not me saying this; It's you guys. You know what I'm talking about." And in my mind, I agreed. He was repeating what the TV News Readers were reading out loud on Tee Vee.
