President-Elect Obama holds his first press conference since being elected, today

[cali]

at 2:30. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he named his Treasury Sec at that time. One thing's clear, Obama wants to put together his cabinet in record time, so they can get to work even before he's sworn in. And in today's world, that makes a lot of sense. There's also some dire economic news hitting us today. Job losses in October are nearly 250,000. The Dow was down about 436 yesterday.
