President Obama on C-Span at 12 am from Brisbane

It's about 40 minutes, and very good. He talks about everything, including TPP. On thing I heard for the first time is that the other countries have to treat their employees fairly. I forget his exact words, but what I got out of it is that maybe if they paid more, we wouldn't be sending jobs over there. I could be wrong, but that's how I interpreted the word, "protect," which is what I thought he said.

After that 40 minute segment, there's a news conference with American reporters there in Brisbane - Acosta, Welker, CBS & Fox. All hardballs.

I was totally engrossed for 1-1/2 hours. Thank goodness he was on. Such a lousy night for TV it would have been. Thanks, Mr. President.
