President Obama’s press conference is already past its scheduled 2 p.m. start.
Tweeters are trying to figure out exactly how late the presser will start this time:
Surprise surprise, Obama is 15 minutes late to his year end news conference.

Any bets on how late @Obama will be for this new conference? I say 15 minutes.

President Obama is late for his news conference but in next quarter's revision he'll actually be 5 minutes early.

How late will Barack Obama be for today's press briefing? The over/under is 7 minutes. (After all, he's leaving for Hawaii when he's done.)
