At 10:20 AM CST, President Millworth met with his full cabinet for a closed door meeting. Sources indicate the group discussed key bills the President will be pursuing in the next year. Some have stated he is late in doing so as much of his first year has been surrounded in negative issues. From his public divorce to the series of Press Secretary missteps, this has certainly been a rough start for the still new President. Finalizing his divorce and replacing his Press Secretary with Ms. Adamez seems to be putting the President in a refocused position, and one that the Democrats are sure to jump on board with in the coming weeks. They now seem focused on directing their energies toward the policies on which President Millworth campaigned instead of fighting political fires.

On that note, I'm told that Thursday mid-morning there will be a press conference, at which time the President is expected to make an announcement about his legislative agenda. Some Americans are hoping this press conference will give him a fresh start and bring his "new ideas for new times" campaign promise to the forefront once again. The media has also been told that within the week there should be another press conference in which the President will specifically address the budget.

To some, this string of press conferences may be too little too late. The President's renewed public strategy may be overly optimistic as the religious right and other conservative groups are positioning themselves against the President due to his divorce, stating it does not reflect the values of traditional America. Some Democratic constituents feel his campaign was veiled as an untruth as both Mr. and Mrs. Millworth played the role as husband and wife only to win the election. Talk show hosts have gone as far as suggesting a pre-election settlement for the now ex-Mrs. Millworth, as the race would have been lost without the team package.

At this time it is unclear if the President will address any of his recent personal issues in these press conferences. Regardless, President Millworth narrowly won last year's election and can't afford to lose supporters. Perhaps more information will be outlined on Thursday. Until then -
