More Info: President-elect Obama said today that the country is facing the greatest economic challenge of our lifetime and “we’re going to have to act swiftly to resolve it.” However in his first news conference since winning the presidency Tuesday, Obama deferred to President Bush and his economic team, noting that the country has only one government and one president at a time. He said the Congress needs to pass an economic stimulus measure either before or just after he takes office in January.

Question: Any reaction to the first press conference today by President-elect Barack Obama?
