President Barack Obama will hold a post-election news conference on Wednesday.

The White House said Tuesday that Mr. Obama will take reporters' questions Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the East Room.

It'll be the first chance for Mr. Obama to react to what are widely forecast to be major Democratic losses in the midterm elections, including the possible Republican capture of one or both houses of Congress.

The announcement came as Mr. Obama continued a round of radio station interviews, phoning in from the Oval Office to talk shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, Jacksonville and Las Vegas.

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller says it is customary for a president to hold a news conference a day or two after midterm elections.

I fear the response will be

this is going to be great

Think so?

We have already heard him say on several recent occasions that he expects Republicans to work with him (as opposed to working with each other). During his presidential campaign, he boasted about working together, but since he has done all he could do to hasten division.

So if he speaks more about bipartisanship it will be obvious . And if he says what he wants to say, it will be nothing surprising.

Obama will announce Republicans will no longer have to sit in the back because they now filled the car and have taken the keys!

In other news, a speeding car just drove through a Hugh puddle and soaked Obama and Pelosi at a nearby bus stop!
