3. Looks like his first president-elect news conference.

Answering a variety of questions well. He's surrounded by several people including Sam Nunn. I tuned in late so that's all I can say.

2. basically addressing security concerns.

pakistan, iran, iraq, north korea.

need negotiations.

i think he's holding this press conference to counter more mccain/palin b.s. about "being tested", in which they're twisting biden's sunday comments out of context.

on sunday, biden said:
"Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. . . . I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. And he's gonna need help," Biden said, though he added that anyone who tests Obama will discover he has "a spine of steel."
