++President Obama said "I'm going to leave it all on the field", referring to next year.
++He said the new spending year was a "good win" and complimented Speaker Ryan.
++He talked about the climate change deal, the Syrian peace negotiations and the war against ISIS.
++He said that he will wait for a decision from Congress before he decides whether he has the authority to close Gitmo alone. He said that we are getting to below 100 and he said we may have 60-80 people left at the end of his term. He called it "one of the key magnets for jihadi" recruiters.
++He talked about lone wolf terrorists and obliquely criticized New York Times reporting on the shooters having posted their radical ideas on Facebook. There is still dispute about this.
++He teed up for TPP and Criminal Reform next year.
++Basically his legislative agenda for his last year is negligible.
++The headline for the press conference was that he was leaving to watch the new Star Wars movie being shown at the White House.
++So it's off to Hawaii. President Obama still dominates the new converge--the press conference happened just as a spat broke out between the ENC and the Bernie Sanders campaign. But President Obama going to Star Wars was the big story.
