Opening remarks, Obama begins by encouraging patience

No quick fixes or silver bullets here, folks. Obama is giving a recap of what the administration has accomplished so far, and reminds us that the middle class will be getting a tax cut. He's encouraging the public to buy homes and refinance mortgages, and just gave Geithner a plug for plan to get credit flowing again.

And now, he mentions the budget. He says the perceived wealth of the past wasn't real, and that his budget is necessary to create real wealth. And he still saying he's going to reduce the budget.

NBC gets nasty and shows an angle of Obama reading off the teleprompter... He looks tired and unenthused. He couldn't have practiced this speech beforehand?

On to questions...
