To the detracters out there, the President just didn't say things that would appeal to the people, he means it. For example, our energy crisis could be solved if we just drilled for oil though Democrats will state that the President wants to drill on top of Mount Rushmore. (Had to include a Simpsons reference, so so me.)
Besides that, the thing that got me is that the President's plan for Ukraine is "I want people to stop dying."
I have only seen a couple of clips of the town hall, but I did see the Ukraine/Russia bit. The moderator was trying to make him pick a side to play the Russia Russia Russia card - devastating! He wouldn't play the game by basically saying she was asking the wrong question. Picking sides implies you want people to die. He said " I don't want anyone to die."
