President Obama pushes his stimulus in prime time
President Obama gave his first prime time press conference last night. He used the chance to push hard for his economic stimulus plan.

She joins us from Washington.
In Obama’s prepared opening remarks, he addressed the economic crisis and pushed for the stimulus bill.
