After the President's press conference, I may have received an email (sent from a certain Blackberry device), wanting an opinion on how the session went.
Not to be nitty picky, and your enthusiasm is appreciated, and it is certainly a welcomed departure from the past, and I want to listen to every word, and I'm not suggesting you're not awesome, but I'd like to offer a little criticism / advice. Again we're all rooting for you and it could be that so early in the process, you are anxious to "share". Maybe it's just me, but watch that press conference last night and you tell me. Did you give ten pound answers to two pound questions? Yaa. I think so. Most of your responses seemed excessively verbose. It's almost as if you're trying too hard. You're excited and anxious to engage a previously skeptical and disenchanted country. Love it!
The press does ask those multi-part questions that do require multi-part answers.
However, not every question requires the full monty - especially if you get rolling and don't actually give answers to the questions themselves (multi or not).
All-in-all, it was good. Who could have done better? It's a crazy deal. Most people would throw up or soil the garb in that situation. You'll get into the more direct, less voluminous response mode once you're more at ease. It's all still good. Get back in there and save the world. You can do it. You have to.

Well, anyway - it was good to hear from you... or not.
