Ed Henry prepares for the President's next presser
:large
Notably, all the reporters Obama called on today were women, which was really outrageous considering that there have only been 4,529 (or so) press conferences in which all the reporters the president called on were men. There was one as yet unidentified male reporter who managed to shout, Any new years resolutions?, while another shouted, Are you going to smoke a Cuban cigar, Mr. President? as he was leaving. Sadly, America did not get answers to these vital questions.
