Like most of the country I was tuned in to President Obama's first prime time press conference. After the last eight painful years (fourteen if I add his time as Texas governor) of seeing the previous occupant of the White House massacre the English language and have them less frequently as Michael Jackson has plastic surgery, it was nice to see our president confidently stride into the East Room of the White House and confidently answer multiple part questions from the press corps.
He even took questions from Helen Thomas, the dean of the Washington White House press corps and from a Huffington Post reporter.
If people still haven't gotten the memo that there's a new sheriff in town, last night was another clue that change has come to DC.
