More Tweets from the President's Federal Budget Summit

By GottaLaff

President Obama is speaking right now. I expect I'll be getting Tweets galore. I'll update regularly. This way you get tidbits as they break:

Chris Hayes: Snap judgment: the Blue Dogs got rolled. The bad guys are not driving this car. I'm breathing a (tentative) sigh of relief.

Ana Marie Cox: Obama only one at summit who's using a teleprompter. Currently calling out Bush budget practices. "As if" used a lot. Positively snarky.

Chris Hayes: Bet you that the phrase "go through the budget line by line" polls off the charts.

Prez O wants a "frank conversation." Frankly, that's a great idea, if I may be frank.

That was short. Prez O just ended his speech. I'm waiting for more Tweets. But he wants more honest bookkeeping. Oh, and there were a few decent suh-naps at BushCo. We'll post the video as soon as it becomes available.

Ana Marie Cox: Obama: budget will return to "pay as you go," just like "families across America do every week." Except for the whole mortgage thing, ha ha.

Chris Hayes: Lieberman and Snowe chatting IN THE CENTER AISLE!

Chris Cillizza: a quick note...Brad Woodhouse is the new communications director at the DNC....friends with Gibbs and Messina, deputy cos.
