He may not have had "good" answers to all of the questions, but I am glad that he finally took the time to field complaints from the troops directly. Most of his answers were well thought out, and obviously planned for, but some seemed to catch him off guard. You may not like the President. You may not like the administration he has put together, and you don't have to. Thats what is nice about this country, but it is nice to see someone out there taking punches (so to speak) in public.
