I thought the Obama's presser was good, too

I thought President Obama's press conference was very well-done, so much so that, like Paul Krugman, I'm a little worried that if I liked it maybe the public didn't. 

Okay, I'm not that out of sync with what the public thinks. I've been a member of the public for years now.

The president sounded like he knew what he was talking about and how long has it been since that has occurred?  About eight years. 

I'm more worried that I'm suddenly more optimistic than before. My optimism often betrays me.
