When will Obama make his announcement!? Place your bets here!

[ColbertWatcher]

Be the one to guess the time of the announcement (within 30 minutes?) and win the adoration of thousands of DUers!

Post your time in reply. Please include the time zone, so people won't get confused.

Only those guesses posted before the announcement win adoration; all others will be laughed at. (Especially the ones who guess wrong after the announcement)
