FINAL UPDATE: (A quick after-hours wrap-up) --

For those who missed it, this afternoon Pres. Obama hosted a townhall meeting in Costa Mesa, CA. From the crowd’s reaction one wouldn’t know that he was deep inside enemy territory – he got an extremely warm reception and even got to use his old "I love you back" line.

Despite the best efforts of the punditry that followed the live coverage on both CNN and MSNBC (FauxNews had riveting stories on a rescued yellow lab and a cow that gave birth to triplets [note: this is not a joke]), I think the Prez did a great job. In addition to reminding us of why we like and trust him simply by exercising his amazing charisma, he made some very important points regarding the current financial clusterf**k and his agenda for the future. The whole thing was basically an antidote to the way Republicans and media "critics" have been trying to frame recent developments and the Prez’s proposals.
