Barack Obama actually said...

But in selecting Congresswoman Solis, President-elect Obama has sent a clear message that America's working families will be heard.

What we can't do is drag this out when we just saw half a million more jobs lost. You know, the American people are struggling.

Clearly the situation is dire. It is deteriorating, and it demands urgent and immediate action.

For the sake of our economy and our people, this is the moment to act, and to act without delay.
