Live Blog: President Obama's News Conference

Eight days after his re-election, with the fiscal cliff looming, questions being raised about the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and a scandal having forced the director of the CIA to resign, President Obama is holding a news conference this afternoon at the White House.
