President Barack Obama's
news conference Tuesday was moved inside because the Rose Garden is too humid.
Now, he'll take questions in the James S. Brady Briefing Room.
The White House
announced the new location for the 12:30 p.m. ET news conference at 9:34 a.m.
Aides in the Rose Garden discovered it was already sticky, which would have made for miserable journalists and unflattering video.
So will the reporters stand when the president enters the room?
By tradition, reporters stand in the more formal setting of the East Room. In the briefing room, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't — a point that was made by a (somewhat misleading) viral video showing the press standing for Obama and not for President George W. Bush.
This is the president's 24th press conference or availability, according to Mark Knoller of CBS News.
This from the guy who keeps the Offal Office hot enough to grow orchids.
No, they Shall bow, to the One, -2Bama.
Never let em see you sweat...
So will the reporters stand when the president enters the room?
More than likely they will fall to their knees so they can kiss his butt.
Uhhh...what’s up with the light colored boobs in your picture? Does Barry usually wear a bikini top when sunning?
I see my first thought has been anticipated twice already.
First they will stand, and then they will genuflect.
And then they will be called, in agreed upon order, to give their prepared questions to TOTUS. Fox News will be excluded again.
what a setup for a Global Warming rant...can’t believe O is passing that up...
One would think he would turn it to his advantage - roll up his sleeves, get a little arm pit ring going and dab a hanky to his forehead. See, he’s one of the people and is working so very, very hard at his job! And let the girls pass out Michelle’s hand squeezed lemonaid to the reporters.
Indeed. Bet it was plenty cool inside today.
What a wimp Obama must be! guess he has no idea what it feels like when it is 98º with matching humidity like it gets here often during the summer? Today is cool to me with less than 54% humidity.
