President Obama On Petraeus, Fiscal Cliff, More

Updated 1:47 p.m. This event has now concluded, thanks for joining us. However the information we provide here may still be useful to you.

President Obama spoke at a press conference this afternoon on a variety of topics - we broadcasted the address live.

The live video is below for you (now over). And here's a live blog from NPR. Plus, there's this running transcript of the press conference from The New York Times.

Here's a quick link tutorial on two topics he addressed:

• The "fiscal cliff": here's a great series of stories that break it all down from NPR.
• The Gen. Petraeus debacle: a clear who's who and what's what quick guide from NPR - or, if you're more visual, diagrams of the whole situation from New York Magazine (the "Pentagon of Love") or BuzzFeed's uniform-themed version.
