| Open thread for the event. You can watch it live here, and the stream looks pretty robust. Twittering from friend of Calitics Todd Beeton here. OC Progressive also has coverage.
...well, Obama missed an opportunity there. Asked about state governors who have rejected portions of the stimulus, he made an excellent summary of the bogus argument put forth by those who want to refuse unemployment expansion because they fear employers having to pay marginally higher taxes in a couple years. He was clearly not briefed that the California legislature rejected just such a proposal YESTERDAY, and that the Governor's staff inclined to reject changes in eligibility, and the Governor has taken no position at all. That could have put a lot of pressure on the legislature, but alas.
...Secretary of State Bowen, also in the building, is live-Twittering. |
