Fortunately, the Today show had the tapes, and played them this morning. According to Today, when President Obama met with reporters from the New York Times yesterday aboard Air Force One, his goal was “trying to sound hopeful and reassuring.†Mission not accomplished.

The Presidency is DIFFICULT????
Who knew..who knew!!!????
This is from the same political ilk that has spent almost 8 years ridiculing President Bushes immediate reaction to 9/11 in that classroom surrounded by children.
He maintained his composure and stature in the face of an unprecedented event.
What is this simple minded idiot going to do if faced with that.....go into the fetal position like the rest of the DUmmies we make fun of here?
OMG. :banghead:
