Barack Obama is introducing his Energy and Environmental team.
So far there have been two press questions, neither about the Blagojevich scandal.
UPDATE: The third question was from an NPR reporter, who asked about Rahm Emanuel.
Obama had a prepared list of news reporters and he read their names from his list when calling on them; in at least two cases, Obama seemed not to know where they were in the room. I wonder whether this was agreed on with the particular reporters ahead of time, including what they were allowed to ask about.
After declining to answer the Emanuel question, noting Fitzgerald’s request not to release Obama’s staff report, Obama ended the press conference.
2d UPDATE: The comments below were mostly non-substantive and many were abusive, so I deleted them (including the reasoned ones) and closed comments on this post. That such an innocuous post could generate such a response is disappointing.
