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.

"New conference". Another campaign speech about how congress and the GOP won't work with him and his cronies.
the U.S. economic performance will be just fine all as soon as the RAISE the ROOF
Maybe he'll announce Qadafi's dead.
I have a hunch that the economy wouldn't be as bad if they taxed the dung out of companies that outsourced... I wonder if Jay Carney is the incarnation of another J.C.... The most famous J.C. of all and I don't mean James Carville, Jim Carrey, Johnny Cochrane, John Carpenter (although carpenter is getting closer)... Jeezy Crisco Chris Angel.. Tadahhh!.. Maybe our savior is more tied into the corruption than we imagined?
@huh? Qadhaffi was killed last week and dumped into the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss along with BinLaden and Megaton...
LOL,
@ philip and I think Qadhaffi's brain *poped* a long time ago , Lol
A bigger news flash would be "Obama not to hold a news conference".
Im still here.. You ain't swat nuthin foo! Very good but fly not hit back! Buzzzzz
Lmao @ vid.. Ever notice how those guys cross their legs like women? Trust me I'm not that gifted "down there", but it hurts for me to cross my legs like that. George and Baraka must me neutered. :O
Bad boys bad boys what ya gonna do? What ya gonna do when they come for you?
@Chasing:
I know, right? To both of your posts!
@Philip:
I can agree with the taxing stuff, but what does Jesus have to do with Obama's press conference?
The censorship here at CNN is something else.
@Imglad: There isn't any Turner Youth censoring your comments. It's all done by computer and sometimes it glitches up. I just had that problem too.
@Huh? He was saying that Jay Carney was the embodiment of the holy ghost due to the similarity in initials although Jesus was known as "of Nazareth" kind of like the arabic form of Al Sadr ..
Raise taxes? We dont have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem!
Typical republican, let's not cut the military budget, which happens to be the biggest pie by far to cut, let's not raise revenue, by even a small amount, let's cut social security and medicare after we've robbed it blind for the past 40+ years and continue to do so-that's the answer. The days of having our cake and eating it too are over, the sooner the Rushbots wake up to that fact the better for all of us as a nation.
