I suspect several of us will be watching this evening. So I figured I'd go ahead and generate a thread for discussion during and after.

Usually they do; Wretched Excess did a great job in getting this behavior established here, during the primaries last year.

(CNN) -- President Obama will call on Americans to look to the future with a "renewed confidence that a better day will come," in his second prime time news conference Tuesday.

Obama, seeking to rally support for his economic plan, will tell the country that his administration has put in place "a comprehensive strategy designed to attack this crisis on all fronts."

"It's a strategy to create jobs, to help responsible homeowners, to restart lending, and to grow our economy over the long term. And we are beginning to see signs of progress," he will say.

The news conference will air live on CNN and CNN.com at 8 p.m. ET.

Reminds one of what Herbert Hoover said, in 1930, about turning a corner.

"the budget is inseparable from the recovery"?

He thinks he's going to cut the deficit in half in his first term?

"An efficient healthcare system that controls costs." Get ready to hear the word "no" from your doctor. A lot.

"Bad AIG! Bad! Bad!"

Will Democrats be returning their campaign contributions from AIG, or are the politicians too big to fail?
