On Sunday, Barack Obama made his first 'Meet the Press' appearance as President-elect. He spoke in detail about the economy and foreign policy, warning that the economy is "going to get worse" before it gets better and declaring that a short-term economic stimulus package is his "number one priority" coming into the White House:
"We’ve got to provide a blood infusion right now, make sure that the patient is stabilized. We’ve got to get the economy moving."
President-elect Obama announced the leaders of his White House economic team before the Thanksgiving holiday -- the earliest announcement of its kind ever made by an incoming administration. In his interview, the President-elect assured that his White House economic team is already hard at work drawing the blueprints for economic recovery.
President-elect Obama also announced his decision to nominate retired General Eric K. Shinseki as his choice to head the Department of Veterans Affairs, calling General Shinseki, "exactly the right person who is going to be able to make sure that we honor our troops when they come home."
