The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
First up, the President takes the offensive.
This afternoon, the President gave a major press conference covering a wide
range of crucial national issues from healthcare to Iran to the economy. New
polls indicate there's increased pressure on the President from the public on
thes issues. What did the press conference accomplish? What's next for the
White House? We'll play Hardball with Senior Advisor to the President, David
Axelrod.

Next up, in the press conference President Obama set out to alleviate concerns
represented in new polls on healthcare and the economy. He also expressed a
clear message on Iran's post-election chaos. We'll ask NBC News White House
Correspondent Chuck Todd and Politico's Roger Simon for analysis of the press
conference.

Plus, the GOP has criticized President Obama on every front, from healthcare
reform to his response on Iran. How will Republicans respond to the President's
press conference? We'll ask Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) for her take.
