I just got done watching President-elect Barack Obama's first press conference. A few interesting questions asked, not asked and not answered:

• CNN's Candy Crowley asked Obama whether anything he learned in the intelligence briefings he's received as president-elect gave him pause or caused him to reconsider positions he'd taken during the general election. Obama declined to answer. I'm not sure what to make of that. Obama has voiced support for the Supreme Court's (foolish) decision to give captured terrorists habeus rights -- an easy thing to do when you're ignorant of the enemies we face.
• Obama repeatedly talked about bipartisanship and a desire to work together to solve problems facing America. No one asked him about Joe Lieberman's imminent shove out the door of the Democratic caucus and whether that was a wise decision for changing the tone in Washington.
• When President Bush nominated his first group of judges to the federal courts in 2001, he included two of Bill Clinton's nominees who'd been held up in committee as an effort to earn some goodwill and bipartisanship. Will Obama do something similar? Will the press ask? Will the press compare and contrast?
• A reporter asked Obama whether he planned to go through with his vow to raise taxes on the rich in the 2009 tax year with the economy the way it was. Obama didn't answer the question. Instead, he went back to his campaign boilerplate about providing tax cuts to 95 percent of Americans (including those who don't pay any federal income taxes).
• Another reporter asked if Obama would be sending his daughters to a public or private school. Obama said that was women's work something Michelle would be handling. Seriously, if Obama sends his kids to a public school I'll have a minor heart attack.

We'll see how this plays out in the coming days, but I continue to get the feeling that "bipartisanship" doesn't mean the Democrats sacrificing on some minor issues in an effort to reach out to Republicans as much as it means demanding the GOP cave on every issue.
