Presidential

For what it's worth, I thought Obama's demeanor when he was addressing the birth certificate nonsense, "We don't need this, I don't need this," was very presidential. He was impressive. I admired him at that moment.

The media's response was, of course, to do the opposite of what he intended. He said very specifically that he addressed the issue so that we could end the nonsense and turn to a discussion of the serious problems that face this nation, so they spent their entire programs yammering about the issue that he had just sought to end. Gack.
