I have him a 9.5. He was a bit nervous/defensive at the beginning, but got onto his game quite quickly. He has a lot of knowledge at his fingertips. Great start!

Acosta at it again. He needs to be made a non person and never called on again until CNN gives up or he loses his press credentials.

Spicer should tell Acosta that he is "shrouded" for the rest of the year.

I am just so impressed by how he had all of the facts at his fingertips with no need to consult notes. Sharp like Trump.

[Yeah, the longer Spicer is on, the more confident he becomes.]

Truth tellers are confident because they tell the truth. Liars have a hard time remembering their lies.

Bout time.

I liked the exchange about lying to the press. Day one it explicitly challenges both the WH and the Press to be truthful. Excellent! I’ve been around a long time and watched a lot of deception from Press Secretary’s over these decades. This question was the best of the day. The reporters are used to evasion, equivocation and lies from Presidential spokesmen as well as Presidents. Do you think they liked being lied to? Spicer is setting a new ethical standard. We are used to thinking for ourselves; they are not. I’m predicting a change for the better overall, very slowly.

At the end, the Indian got longwinded just when everyone needed to rush to file reports. They and Spice told him, “ask a question”, get to the point!

Obama “Josh-ed” us with Earnest

He was nothing but a spinner for the former administration, a smarmy character.

Bingo! We noticed that too! Spicer will have no trouble handling these media lightweights who are masquerading as legitimate journalist.

“You would think the press people would want a bigger venue too.”

Inbred, incestuous, DC elitists press don’t won’t to let anyone else into their little club. The less room, the better.

And Chuck Todd and the other DNC press outlets are still going w/the picture taken several hours before the inauguration.

They KNOW about CNN’s picture but must lie so they can call Sean a liar

They are so transparent.

Someone handed him a note clarifying the point that no Trump staffers were seated in the front row during Trump’ CIA event, despite what the “reporter” was alleging.

Do you have a problem with the fact-checking?

twitter saying kellyanne handed spicer a note

No big deal, this wasn't a political debate or a game show. It was a news conference.
