Obama sets out to defend record (including health care)
When President Obama sat down with ABC's Barbara Walters, he did something he'll be doing frequently over the next two years -- defending his busy record of the last two years.
"The fact is, is that we stabilized the financial system," Obama said during the interview broadcast on ABC's 20/20. "We turned an economy that was contracting to one that was growing. We have added a million jobs over the last year to the economy."
The president spoke out less than a month after Republicans swept to victory in the U.S. House, and picked up six seats in the U.S. Senate -- in large part by attacking Obama's economic record, citing high unemployment and rising budget deficits.
And health care -- though Obama predicted to Walters that the controversial new health care bill he signed into law will be seen favorably over time.
Said Obama:
I am absolutely confident that when we fully implemented health care, and we started to see those costs go down and we have seen people who don't have health insurance get health insurance, and we have seen families who have health insurance more secure and they are not being jerked around by arbitrary rules from their insurance companies, that that's gonna be a lasting legacy that I am extraordinarily proud of.
Expect to hear Obama's defense of his record over and over again as he pursues re-election in 2012, and as Republicans try to add to the White House to their current political winning streak.
Obama also told Walters he is holding off any decisions on whether to lift the trade embargo with Cuba:
We haven't seen all the progress that they said they were going to engage in. So part of what we're doing right now is monitoring: have, in fact, all the political prisoners who they said were going to be released, have they been released?
Step by step, we're exploring other ways that we can break the impasse. But my watchword is how do we assure freedom and dignity for the Cuban people? And if in fact Cuba's ready to turn a corner, I think they will find a welcome partner in the United States of America. But we're not there yet.
