I can’t recall a single Obama press conference in 8 years. Not that I would have tuned in for long.

I can’t recall a single Obama press conference in 8 years.

When he did deign to grant a press conference, his pattern was to accept three questions and spend twenty minutes of circumlocution on each one, thanks and goodbye.

Back then I searched YouTube and found plenty of Jack Kennedy press conferences. He'd accept thirty or forty questions and give concise answers. Of course, he was only dealing with minor crap like the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Bay of Pigs invasion.
