WEEK 8 (Print/Online)

Air Force One touched down at the Long Beach Airport today at 3:00 p.m. as Obama was headed to Costa Mesa for a town hall meeting. This was Obama’s first trip to the west coast since he was elected president.

Obama’s day was jammed packed with the town meeting, an appearance on the tonight show, the A.I.G thing, but the news in online entertainment was Barack-etology as the president filled out his NCAA tournament bracket.

Most of the focus of the local newspapers was the town hall meeting in Costa Mesa. The president mainly talked about A.I.G., and fielded some question from the audience. A teacher and a former automobile industry worker were some of the few that asked Obama questions, but still had hope. Even with all the problems the crowd was optimistic.
