Barack Obama made his first radio address as President Elect on Saturday. Stressing the urgency of shoring up our economy as he did during Friday's press conference, Obama stated, "We must act swifty."
Barack Obama held his first press conference as President Elect today in Chicago. Flanked by 17 economic advisors, Obama struck a serious tone, clearly emphasizing economic stimulus as a priority.
While maintaining the steady calm Obama displayed throughout his campaign, he also injected a few moments of lightheardedness. Joking about what type of dog his children will choose, he referred to himself as a "mutt," the likely choice of dog the family will take to the White House.
Prepared Remarks:
Sarah Palin is not ruling out a run for a national office in 2012.
During her first post election interview held in the lobby of the Biltmore Arizona, Palin told CNN's Dana Bash that coming off a lost election, she can't make any determinations yet for 2012.
Palin also denied there was any tension between her camp and McCain's, claiming the rumors of such were false. "There is absolutely no Diva in me," Palin said.
Sarah Palin had been referred to as a "Diva" by a top McCain campaign aide just weeks before the election.
Reacting to Bash's remarks on Palin's failure to lock up the female or independent electorate for McCain, she said, "If I cost McCain any votes, I'm sorry."
