What did I miss?

I tried to time my work out on the treadmill to President Obama's press conference. I made it to the point where he was asked about Israel. It's a shame they are stuck with a craptastic right wing leader like us. They went from Ben Gurion to Netanyahu and we went from George Washington to Donald Drumpf.

I like that the president laid down some markers for what it would take for him to speak out:

- A mass deportation of the Dreamers
- Persecution of Muslims
- Silencing the press

That's a start...

God, I am going to miss that man.
