Must see TV....
It took considerable daring to enter that arena today as President Obama did. More to lose than gain if it didn't go well. This was compelling poltical theater. For both sides. Beyond press conferences. Beyond SOTUs.
The President handled every question from every questioner with grace, force and an incredible mental agility. That he has the ability to do what he did today is envied by most, if not all, politicians. Some may have the balls and some may have the brains, but it is a rare bird that has them both and can pull this off. (Don't think for a minute that that is not a source of some resentment for some of the opposition.)
We are in a better place that we elected this man as our president. Having said that, we know it does not guarantee anything. But we needed to get the right parts in the right place so we can make a better day and future for ourselves.
What President Obama demonstrated today was evidence that we have succeeded with one very big "part".
