President Obama has scheduled his first press conference for Monday at 8 p.m. Media Matters has a report up where they say the press has been tougher on Obama in his first days than on George W. Bush in 2001.
It's all a matter of perspective. If coverage of a candidate is glowing before the election, the only way it can go is down.
It's important for the briefings to start on time, because the press has better things to do than sit and wait for you. They can think of thousands of better thing while you make them wait. They make snarky comments back and forth while sitting in the chairs, and soon enough the tone comes through in your question.
