One uh, press conference, um, one, uh, SNAFU for Obama

Our president-elect won, in part, because he was the harbinger of change. Well, if one change you're looking for is a smooth, coherent press conference, it looks like you'd better look somewhere else. From the looks of his first post-election press conference, Obama isn't exactly, um, er, you know, smooth, uh, without his teleprompter.

Not that the media will mock him on it, like they have President Bush. They also didn't call him out when he took a cheap shot at Nancy Reagan, saying he wasn't going to have "seances in the White House."

I'm not pointing this out to defend Nancy Reagan or to get all huffy because my candidate lost and the Obamination won. I'm pointing it out because if you say it, you'd better make damn sure your facts are right. Nancy Reagan did NOT hold seances in the White House; she had astrology readings. Mary Todd Lincoln was the one who held the seances.

Barack, I know you're still getting the, uh, hang of the, um, press conferences, but, ah, can you do us, like, a favor? If you're gonna be off on something, be forewarned that being off by 123 years is a bit of bad form. It will also prevent you from having to call a 92-year-old lady with a broken pelvis and tell her you're sorry for being a dumbass.
