WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will hold his third prime-time news conference on Wednesday, his 100th day in office.
Obama will answer questions from reporters in the East Room beginning at 8 p.m. EDT, the White House said.
Officials insist that holding the news conference on the 100th day of Obama's presidency has no special significance. But the 100th day has become one of those milestones by which a new president and his accomplishments are judged.
"It's an arbitrary day in which presidents are measured. We get that. We're playing along," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday.
Gibbs said Obama and almost everyone in the White House agrees with "a huge majority" of the American people "that the 100th day is not a ton different than the 99th, the 101st or the 123rd."

Interesting how no one questioned Bush's 100 days as he even went on vacation during that period while they are all over President Obama and the 100th day isn't until Wednesday. If only as much attention and accountablity had been done with Bush would might not have been in this mess.
