(115,280 posts)Is he hitting it out of the ballpark right now, this minute; or is that a general statement of his batting average? And which ballpark is he hitting what thing out of?
Thank you.

(73,333 posts)completed a press conference. He responded to a variety of questions -- some pretty good, others extremely lame -- from journalists.
In my opinion, there was no single topic that stood out, far beyond the others. Rather, it was an awesome display of President Obama's wonderful skills in communicating. That, and his ability to think on his feet, and organize his thoughts in order to assist the audience in understanding exactly what he is saying.
I am among the DUers who frequently has felt the President could "do more." This feeling increases when I witness what I believe was a masterful performance.
It stands in such stark contrast to W's annoying press conferences.

He needed to let the world know that despite the torture committed in our name, his administration will not prosecute our war crimes.
