WHITE HOUSE PRESS CONFERENCE BRINGS SURPRISE QUESTION FROM REPORTER!

For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary November 24, 2008
Press Briefing by Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

11:08 A.M. EST

MR. FRATTO: Good morning, everyone. And those of you who were traveling to South America, welcome back.
The President early this afternoon will have a photo opportunity with recipients of the 2008 Nobel Awards. These are the American Nobel Laureates. The recipients who will be here are Dr. Martin Chalfie, the Chemistry Prize Laureate; Dr. Roger Tsien, Chemistry Prize Laureate also; and Dr. Paul Krugman, Economics Prize Laureate.

AND HERE IS THE GOOD PART, THE LAST QUESTION FROM A REPORTER:

LESTER (reporter): "The CEO of WorldNetDaily has called on the President-elect to release a birth certificate listing the hospital and names of parents. The White House believes that this would fully satisfy the constitutional requirement, don't you? "

MR. FRATTO: I don't think I have anything to say on that, Lester, and I think we're going to end it right there.

Thank you.
