The President reflects on lessons from his time spent outside Washington this week, which only reinforced the four core principles in his budget.

1. I imagine the Leno interview did him the world of good as anger resonates so I guessing he got >

good feedback he's looking reignited. Basically our side got the joke was not malicious and Leno's positive reaction to The President may of swayed more moderates.

I think it was a good, worthwhile trip.

7. I suspected that he'd spend as much time as possible

OUTSIDE of DC thru his term, BEING everyone's President for 4 years.

3. I like the little message to the DLCers there, couldn't agree more with the final sentiments.

4. Could we have gone from the Worst President ever to the Best in one cycle?

Maybe. Thanks GWB! That's his legacy. He was so fucking bad we actually got smart and got the best ever.

6. Ugh, I hate the phrase "grow the economy"

It sounds so familiar. Other than my pet peeve, it was great.

8. I wish I could get this video on itunes without going through

ABC's Stephanopolis...

Is itunes as crappy as I'm beginning to think?

10. Too bad it's corporate *Democrats* in Congress who oppose his agenda...

Bill Maher talked about it last friday. There's a bunch of Democrats forming a group, which opposes and voted against key elements of his budget.
