Hits on Afghanistan, North Korea, Kagan and moremoremore.

Details here.

HALPERIN'S TAKE: This was one of the president's better press conferences. He was relaxed and on-message and compelling, without making any news he didn't want to make. And his answers on topics from Kagan to deficit reduction, to US-Japan relations, to North Korea, to Afghanistan were all well modulated, well calibrated, smart, and (at times) nearly passionate.
