Obama Presser in 30 mins too.

1. I wish this were in D.C. -- where's Helen Thomas?

I want HER to get the first question! I'm sure she will
at his first WH press conference, but it'd be sweet if she
got the first call today as well ...

[Botany]

3. And if it is Helen you know it will be a tough one

Obama "Yes, Helen?"

Crowd laughs

Thomas "With the job #s, the federal debt, and our troops overseas how can
you reform medical benefits without a tax hike?"

[LSparkle]

6. Hopefully he'd candidly respond, "I can't ... "

"And during this campaign I promised I wouldn't raise taxes
on the middle class, which I won't. There may be some people
in this country who will need to pay more taxes in order to
make some of these reforms happen, but it won't be people
making less than $250,000 a year."

2. the Press better not be rude to him either.

4. My GF and I had a bet...

I guessed 363 to 174 - because I forgot about Omaha. Otherwise I would have been exactly right. She guessed 340-something, so I win. Well, we all win, really... :)

And we pick up Kilroy (D) House
Franken and maybe Georgia Senate too.
