Via Eschaton, I see that our estemed President is holding a prime time press conference tomorrow night to discuss his plans for Social Security and oil prices. Bush’s press conferences are like the proverbial train wreck. You want to turn away but you end up watching just to see what gruesome thing will come up next. The good thing for the President is that he’s gotten much more comfortable since he was reelected. The bad thing is that he still sucks at them.

I’m also interested, as always, in seeing what kind of questions he will get this time around, and which questions the plants in the press pool will ask. The trick is, of course, whether there are any differences between the general questions and the questions from those plants… the press has been extraordinarily deferential to Bush in these things, more so than they ever were under Clinton or G.H.W. Bush.
