a scramble to figure out how we are going to make it live to you tonight. there is a lot of tension in the room. a lot of people from various activities all over town to see the president make news. i think that is an under statement if i have ever heard one. the president is now 6 minutes late. may we assume the tardiness has something to do with giving the media a chance to get their technological act together so they can broadcast it live to the nation? i have seen a camera shot of the eastern hall it is not clear to me if they are fine tuning the language on a statement to the media or whether there is some tick cal aspect to it. but there s a lot of buzz here and a lot of running around trying to make it happen. we await the president. again we are hearing th that it a foreign policy relat related .
