1. Thanks! Never knew it was on

2. Wow. That is just EXCELLENT all around!

The reporter asked pointed, important questions, and pursued points when she didn't get the type of response she was after. Obama was impressive!

I like that we had the opportunity to actually listen to him talk about his plans and vision, rather than only hearing sound-bite responses to questions or refuting criticisms.

Recommend!

4. great. answer!

I loved the way he answered the last question....
about whether he has any doubts about being able to lead in foreign affairs...
"NEVER!"

8. I just viewed the video and came over to post about that Q&A

His response followed by that smile was the icing on the cake. He doesn't get angry or frustrated but has a confident amusement at such a question without demeaning the interviewer. It was enjoyable to watch.

5. Wow

I forgot what a real interview was like. Ms. Logan made sure she got her questions answered and Mr. Obama didn't try to bully her into backing off.

Thanks for the link. :)

6. He did look very presidential. I do worry about our troops disappearing into

Afghanistan in an endless war.

When asked about his ability to lead as "Commander in Chief" from day 1...

11. I would have expected nothing less

Obama, once again, was amazing. This guy is totally in control and has already figured out what needs to be done.

God needed 7 days -- Obama will need a bit longer but HE WILL hit the oval office that first day running. Go back to bed Mr. mcsame. We've got it covered!~!

12. why did he say he would be building relationships for the next 8 to 10 years

I think that's what he said. I can see 8 but why say 10?

Just askin

into the room and thought I got what I heard wrong.
