The president is expected to use the forum to promote his ambitious budget plan, which has come under fire from Republicans and conservative Democrats for its hefty price tag.
He’s also likely to face questions about the ongoing controversy surrounding bonuses paid out by insurance giant AIG.
CNN and CNN.com will have extensive live coverage of the news conference.
Obama held his first prime time news conference in February amid his push to get his economic recovery package passed.

Sorry – sometimes he makes it so easy – Messiah meets real life. I know – the RNC candidates were no picnic either.
Go Independents!
The real scandal is that AIG was nothing more than a conduit for huge capital flows to the banks already given huge bailouts, with no reason or explanation given, once again.
The salary scandal is just a smokescreen covering the real caper.
