Obama: Change comes slowly in Washington
Associated Press , Washington | Thu, 04/30/2009 8:18 AM | World
President Barack Obama says he's sobered by how slowly changes come in Washington.During a prime-time news conference Wednesday marking his first 100 days in office, the president said even as the country struggles through a crippling recession, he has witnessed political posturing and bickering. He said he had hoped lawmakers would take a "time out" from political games.
Obama said he realizes there are many different "power centers" other than the presidency, and he can't just "press a button" and have bankers do what he wants or "flip a switch" and have Congress fall in line.
He says what he can do is make his best arguments, listen hard and coax people in the right direction.
