Obama to hold news conference next week
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will hold a news conference at the White House on Sept. 10.
The White House said Obama would use the news conference as an opportunity to discuss his administration’s work on the economy, capping a week in which the president will also travel to Wisconsin and Ohio for economic events.
Obama has been criticized for rarely holding news conferences, preferring instead to communicate through one-on-one media interviews.
The president last held a White House news conference in May to address the Gulf oil spill.
