Glad I got to catch both pressers live. At one time President Obama said something that struck me immediately as key to understanding his general philosophy - that lasting, substantive progress would blossom in an atmosphere w/o chaos. Didn't surprise me at all, but I think that pretty much covers everything he's been trying to do.

Now the GOP's running scared because his Cuba policy's likely to turn Florida blue as the ocean and lose Rubio his seat. I couldn't be happier. While I in no way fault President Obama for biding his time, I'm thrilled to see the gloves come off now. LOVE THAT MAN!
