2. Great Answer to a shitty question

5. That's how he rolls..takes a question like

that and turns it around into letting the American people know how much he appreciates their patience and how much he absolutely appreciates the military and is in awe of what they do...

4. I love watching a Master at work. .

I especially love when they try to ask "gotcha" questions .. . He uses them as teachable moments and makes the questioner look petty, stupid & dickish. . (in the nicest possible way, of course)

6. Although he didn't say this,

I should think he'd be enchanted by the children who openly admire and adore him, like the girl in the 4th grade who asked him abut the environment today at the town hall in MO.

7. If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

Reporters that ask dumbass questions should be shot...but we have that whole 1st Amendment thing...

[JaneQPublic]

8. Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered...

...would have been better questions, especially if Obama is a fan of Ella Fitzgerald.
