#5 Missed a golden opportunity. He could have claimed that there was a wardrobe -- uh, steering column malfunction or something. After that, all he would have to do to silence a critical journalist is whisper "vroom, vroom" and the guy would back off.

#9 Unfortunately, I think this is a "jumped the shark" moment much like whatisname and the Bradley years and years ago.

#10 Too slow. The prez has a much better chance catching the hyenas with a monster truck. Spin the wheels on the new grease spot.

#13 White House aides tried to herd the reporters the right way...
