As always.

For once I lucked out and got to see the speech live. Smirk or smile? Debatable. But I'm sure he's fed up with obstructionists, and he has a right to celebrate the trap they set and sprung on themselves. Nobody's fool, this man. Not a bit. Maybe he's thinking, like Dr. Phil, "How'd that work out for ya?"
