Six months, and I'm happy to take some questions.
00:02
Go ahead.
00:03
Was the president serious or was he joking?
00:05
He said he might block a Washington commander's stadium deal if they don't change their name.
00:11
The president was serious, and it's part of the art of the deal, part of his negotiating skills.
00:15
As you know, sports is one of the many passions of this president,
00:19
and he wants to see the name of that team changed.
00:21
Why is he getting involved in that?
00:22
Why does he see that as part of his purpose?
00:24
I think you've seen the president gets involved in a lot of things that most presidents have not.
00:29
He's a nontraditional president.
00:30
He likes to see results on behalf of the American people,
00:33
and if you actually poll this issue with sports fans across the country and even in this city,
00:38
people actually do support the president's position on this and the name change.
00:42
Michael.
00:42
Thank you, Caroline.
00:44
Michael, go ahead, and then, Mary, you can go.
