Obama heads to the White House today for a meeting with President Bush. It’s expected to be his only White House visit before he takes office in January. On Friday, Obama held his first news conference as President-elect.

President-elect Obama: “I do not underestimate the enormity of the task that lies ahead. We have taken some major action to date, and we will need further action during this transition and subsequent months. Some of the choices that we make are going to be difficult. And I have said before and I will repeat again, it is not going to be quick, and it is not going to be easy for us to dig ourselves out of the hole that we are in. But America is a strong and resilient country. And I know we will succeed.”
