You can still catch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVeUF9RozfQ

Skip to 50:00 to get to the press conference.

Title updated to reflect the major takeaway.

Obama said that he and his various advisors feel that Syria must be attacked in response to their usage of chemical weapons. He specified that there would be no infantry sent to Syria, just a long distance strike of "limited duration and scope". Congress will hold a vote on whether or not to approve the attack. The President has the authority to order the strike, with or without the approval of Congress.

Is it possible that Youtube provides the backbone infrastructure?

Yeah the framerate is great on whitehouse.gov videos. I'm not sure how or why but it is nice to see considering I don't have cable and therefore this is how I get my major press releases.
