I recommend Ed Luce’s commentary on Obama’s press conference over at Gideon Rachman’s blog. Ed writes that the economy was dealt with rather briskly, and not all that convincingly, and that the questioners turned surprisingly quickly to Islam, Afghanistan and security issues. That was my impression too. Ed’s also right that Obama was fine with that. He seemed far more comfortable once he was spared having to talk about the economy.
