Obama Press Conference March 24 ...Media Says Boring?

"Discussing President Obama's then-upcoming press conference on the March 24 edition of Fox News' Special Report, when asked what he was looking for, Fox News contributor Fred Barnes stated: "I hope there are no more of these five-minute answers."

This same line was heralded by Matt Drudge from the Drudge Report, as well as from BillO'Reilly and Shawn Hannity.

On the March 24 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly said, "While the president was authoritative tonight, he was also dull and repetitive".

Additionally, On the March 24 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity called Obama "boring and dull and uninspiring and unconvincing."

Even the "Liberal" New York Times , in a March 24 article, by Times reporters Peter Baker and Adam Nagourney stated that President Obama "sound[ed] like the teacher speaking in the stillness of a classroom where students are restlessly waiting for the ring of the bell."

And today a March 25 post on the Los Angeles Times' Top of the Ticket blog, Andrew Malcolm wrote: "Professor Barack Obama showed up.... ZZZZ."

Obama Op Ed To The World?

President Barack Obama published an op-ed today that was aimed more at the entire world than the United States. Obama has already been delivering op-eds during recent television appearances, where he tried to explain how he will tackle our current crisis.

However, if newspaper readers in the United States want to read Obama's op-ed, they may have better luck on the Internet. The Obama op-ed ran in 30 papers today, 27 of which are outside of the United States.

We are living through a time of global economic challenges that cannot be met by half measures or the isolated efforts of any nation," Obama wrote in a commentary published in more than 30 newspapers around the world.

"Now, the leaders of the Group of 20 have a responsibility to take bold, comprehensive and coordinated action that not only jump-starts recovery, but also launches a new era of economic engagement to prevent a crisis like this from ever happening again."
