Today's Presidential News Conference

President Obama held a televised news conference this evening. This was his first prime time televised news conference. I believe that these news conferences are a really good sign in continuing his advancement of keeping things open and transparent.

President Obama talked about a number of issues, leading and strongly focusing on the stimulus package and the economic problems that we are suffering right now. He is willing to admit that some of the attempts to bolster the economy may not turn out 100% the same as envisioned, which I think is a pretty honest thing to say, but also that we NEED to take some steps immediately to prevent this from going into a downward spiral that we may not be able to recover from. The situation that we have slid into, economically, has become one of the biggest worries on the minds of Americans this year. We are watching as job losses are constantly being announced on the evening news. There is consistently a flow of stories of yet new and more companies that are laying off more people throughout the country, which is creating even more of a worry about the economic situation.

Aside from the economy, President Obama also touched on such issues as Alex Rodriguez using performance enhancing drugs to what was the moment that he really was hit with the notion that he was truly President of the United States. I think President Obama was able to deal with the press questions with a touch of humor, while still focussing on the serious issues at hand. On my own part, although I've already obviously been a strong Obama supporter, I believe that he handled himself well and provided me with a growing faith in the direction that we're headed, despite the sad and unencouraging news that keeps piling up in the news each day...

Why should Social Security be touched when our elected officials have robbed in continuously. Get the taxes from companies who hide their earnings overseas and send jobs overseas.

My son needs a job as well as some of his friends, most of whom have college degrees.

I don't comment, but after looking at a few of the remarks on this page "Today's Presidential News Conference". I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be only me or does it seem like a few of the responses appear like they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other online sites, I'd like to follow everything new you have to post. Could you post a list of every one of all your public pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

With havin so much content and articles do you
