Talk about hitting the mark. I don't even recall how many times I shouted "you go" to my TV.
Well done Mr President. Well done indeed.

I clapped with vigor every time Boehner failed to do so--'cause I knew he really wanted to, just didn't have the energy. Of course, my hands are raw now, but it was worth it!
GOBAMA!

It was eminently reasonable, all the way through. The little feisty ad-libs were GREAT.
