His massive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal won some crucial congressional victories, ObamaCare survived at the Supreme Court, and later today he's set to eulogize Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who died in the horrific Charleston church shooting last week.

But of course, the most powerful man in the world still found time to dash off a quick tweet expressing his feelings about the Supreme Court's landmark ruling that same-sex marriages are a constitutional right. Jeva Lange
