If Bush has this conferenve, well, Obama also has his own version. For the first time in history, a conservative talk show host is going to allowed to broadcast directly from the White House, as President Obama has invited Michael Smerconish to do exactly that. Michael Smerconish is not a centrist who happens to lean Republican, he is a dyed in the wool conservative, and he has voted Republican all his life. He voted for Barack Obama in 2008. The President will hold the broadcast in the Diplomatic Reception Room, where the Fireside Chats are held, and will field questions largely about health care reform. It's hard to believe Michael Smerconish is going to the White House %u2013 Limbaugh couldn't get in, no matter how much fast cash he offered.
