A press conference??? - no, of course not. So how did John Q Public get hold of the phone conversation??? - obviously Eagles Coach Andy Reid felt the need to inform the world of the wonderful decision he made to bring Vick on in the first place, and Mr President is praising his decision. IMO it was still a bad choice for Mr President to acknowledge a particular individual. It really does send a bad message and leaves out praise to others that are more deserving of it.
