U.S. President Barack Obama will hold a previously unscheduled news conference on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. ET in the East Room of the White House, spokesman Jay Carney announced.
The news conference comes as Obama faces mounting unhappiness over the U.S. economic performance, as well as controversy over his refusal to seek congressional authorization for U.S. participation in the NATO-led military campaign in Libya.

The bomb would be if he announces the audit of the Federal Reserve, NOT gonna happen
Maybe he's going to announce his pardon of Blago. before blago spills his guts. Or maybe he's going to announce his resignation so Biden can pardon him .
is he making it a fund raiser and charging the reporters to see him in the W.House? what a puke!
jim STFU! we need a military and lazy ass people dont need a check every month. talkin @ all the POS on welfare with no job no hope n no future who pass it on to their 10 kids that were paid for by the state who then pass it on to their ten kids. thats what is bankrupting america! wake up!
@jj: welfare should end immediately, agreed,however that isn't what's bankrupting us-it's the 1.2 trillion a year we spend on the military that's bankrupting us. That's 100 times more than all other countries combined spend on their militaries, outrageous. Government doesn't create jobs, as Rush says, so why are the republicans trying to do it so much with the military. We already have enough fire power to blow any country to hell.
Hey jj couldnt agree with you more but jim crow evidently youve never served your country these young men deserve every penny but they could audit the suppliers to cut down on their cost
Obama is holding this news conferdrence to announce to the nation where he will be travelin to next him and his entourange so as he can travle the world and play all the finest golf courses of the world on the tax payers dime really that goes for both him and his wife personally that trip that she made to africa on our dime i dont see what in the world that accomplished other than them getting to see their homeland thats just my opinion
Not talking about the service people's pay, separate issue! Talking about how over bloated the military is.
Maybe we have killed another AQ leader.
@gung hoe: nice way to cloud the issue.
Babylon, Assyria, Minoa, ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, Russia-what do these countries all have in common? An over bloated military that was the root cause of their demise as a leader in the world community, most no longer even exist.
