Flashback: Obama On Economy In Feb. 2009: "I Will Be Held Accountable"
President Barack Obama on NBC's "Today" on February 2, 2009:
Obama: One nice thing about the situation I find myself in is that I will be held accountable. I've got four years.
Lauer: You're going to know quickly how people feel about what's happened.
Obama: That's exactly right. And a year from now I think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress, but there's still going to be some pain out there. If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition.
