I would like Obama to hold a nationally televised prime time news conference

[WI_DEM]

it's been a long time, hasn't it? I think he really needs to begin responding to all the nonsense the GOP is pushing like "the stimulus didn't work"--we know, but how many regular people know that an independent report showed that the stimulus has thus far created 3 million jobs. I'm glad and it's proper that he is speaking on Iraq tonight--but for the election he needs to talk about the economy and his accomplishments--and highlight what is going right and draw a distinction between what he has accomplished and what the GOP would do if they took over congress.

1. so the media can bother him about such urgent matters as

Henry Louis Gates being arrested, or the "Ground Zero Mosque" or maybe Brad and Angelina.

2. He can control the news conference. He can also have a strong opening statement

I'm as strong an Obama supporter as anybody, but they have not done a good job of getting their message out.

3. Or complain because he's over exposed. nt
