Huge welcome for the Prez - someone even gives him a "Happy Birthday" shout-out in the beginning.

1. Interesting footnote from Benen on Pres. Obama's appearance at the conference --

Just as an aside, note that Obama delivered his remarks at the convention of the Disabled American Veterans. George W. Bush had been invited to address the DAV convention every year of his presidency, but he declined all eight times, at least in part because he preferred not to work in August.
