#3 Mr. Obama seemed more frustrated with his questioners than he has been in the past.

#4 "when Helen Thomas interjected as he was answering a question toward the end, he told Thomas to "hold on a second" but did not go back to her."

So he's not quite as stupid as he looks....

"At one point, CBS News' Chip Reid asked if Mr. Obama was "influenced at all by John McCain and Lindsey Graham accusing you of being timid and weak." Responded Mr. Obama (albeit with a smile): 'What do you think?'"

Anybody with two functioning brain cells thinks, "Hell, yes."

"All this said, the overall tone of the press conference was certainly civil. It just wasn't quite as ~~civil~~ much of a tongue-bath as it has been in the past."

Awwwwwwww. It's so sad when a romance starts to go bad....
