    Considering there's so many anti-Obama threads here...pointless and tactless ones at that...I figured this would be a good dose of fresh air.

    He was confronted by some demonstrators at a town hall today and I thought he handled the situation quite well. He even allowed them to ask a question and I for one really like his response. One of the things that has attracted me to Obama is that he tries to give honest answers. Sure, he's a politician, he's gonna pander and generalize at times. But he's also not afraid to play it straight.

    Yeah, I just saw that, and I thought he did a great job. It also really diffused the situation and eliminated the distraction from becoming much bigger.

    Yeah the whole thing was off of the teleprompter and the dudes in the back were plants. Obama is one evil genius.

    Anyone remember that time Arnold got egged? He handled that one extremely well.
