Obama's first prime-time news conference

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090210/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_33

I'm so proud of him. He fielded so many tough questions, ranging from "do any middle eastern countries have WMD's" to the ever important "how does A-Rod admitting to using steroids make you feel." Is it just me or is the media brain dead. If a country achieved nuclear proliferation, especially in the middle east, the would, I don't know, be proud of it, and well declare it. Seriously. Is there any requirement to be part of the media. How is A-Rod relevant to anything. Obama has more important things to worry about. People expect that since Obama has been elected that world should now be some amazing place. Well the air isn't fresher, and the sky isn't any bluer. This change that we were suppose to believe in was more like lets take everything and move it to inches to the left. Sure things might be slightly more liberal, but we need a radical in charge in order to get any noticeable movement. That is why I hope in 2012, instead of helping Nader again, Jello Biafra runs for president again. He ran for the Green party nomination in 2000, but lost to Nader, and has helped Nader in the past 2 elections. Here is some of what he stands for, it's outdated, but should still show some of what he thinks.

Now I realize that most of this would never happen, but having him as president would be really entertaining, and we might actually get some change. I'm really pulling for that maximum wage personally. And the none of the above option in elections seems like a really good idea, a lot better than the current choice of right or slightly less right that we call a democracy. Seriously, put a radical in, and see Democrats and Republican finally agree on something, hating the president. But seriously, a lot of his ideas make sense, and I hope he does run and gets some support.
