Yeah, they did.

I think it was the Wall Street Journal reporter who asked if he was going to use administrative orders to the EPA to bypass Congress on cap-and-trade, since he can’t get legislation passed now.

I thought the questions were tough and to the point. And that he was uncharacteristically humble, at least as much as he can be.

And I didn’t believe a lying word he said.

The best part was at the end:

As he concluded the news conference, Mr. Obama said the “shellacking” he received by the voters on Tuesday made him realize how important it is for a president to get out of the “bubble” of the White House. Note: my comments are in [brackets]

“When you’re in this place, it is hard not to seem removed [from the insignificant little people],” he said.

“How do I meet my responsibilities here, in the White House, which requires a lot of hours and a lot of work, but still have that opportunity to engage with the American people [who aren't even properly thankful for all that I've done for them] on a daily basis?”

Gosh darn, I guess he really couldn't find the time; he might have to cancel his $200,000,000 per day ten day trip to India and elsewhere and maybe spend a little bit of that ObamaMoney taking a bus around the United States. Nah. He and his family want to spend some quality time together in India.
