60 Minute Interview

Last night on 60 min.Obama talked about the economy, foreclosures and his mother-in-law.

"I don't tell my mother-in-law what to do," Obama said. "I'm not stupid. That's why I got elected president, man."

Comedy central will be all over that statement soon.

"There's no doubt that we have not been able yet to reset the confidence in the financial markets and in the consumer markets and among businesses that allow the economy to move forward in a strong way," he said.

"And my job as president is going to be to make sure that we restore that confidence."

Michelle Obama talked about wanting to help military families and improve the public school system in Washington, DC.

President elect Obama said he hopes to emulate FDR's willingness to keep looking for solutions until something worked.

"That's what the American people expect," Obama said. "And, you know, that's the kind of common-sense approach that I want to take when I take office."
