In his first television interview since the election, Mr Obama told CBS he would pull troops out of Iraq, shore up Afghanistan, and close Guantanamo Bay.
"I'm going to make sure that we don't torture," he said of the prison camp.
Mr Obama also promised to do "whatever it takes" to stabilise the US economy, including rescuing the struggling auto industry and assisting homeowners.
On Saturday, he said the US was facing "the greatest economic challenge of our time" and urged Congress to help with "at least a down-payment on a rescue plan that will create jobs".
His advisers later said he would support the co-ordinated response to the global financial crisis agreed by the G20 on Saturday.

that could mean a lot of things...
He is SO in over his head.
Pictured are the puppets.
Did they say “moral”?
That the incoming President doesn't have any know how.
Or that he doesn't know that he doesn't have any know how.
We’re not gunna torture.
Man, this guy is a lightweight in more ways than one.
Anyone read Vince Flynn novels? Just put a loved one in a bad place and BHO and any of the rest of ‘em would be BEGGING a Mitch Rapp type character to do some serious torture.
Does Premier Obama plan on absolving them and sending them back to their homeland, where many have rejoined their jihadist brethren?
Do they come here to America, where an army of ACLU lawyers await them with open arms?
What's the plan, Obam?
Maybe they’ll all hold a “coffee” for him when he runs for relection.
What exactly are “moral” issues on which we are going to re-build our moral authority?
Al Gore says global warming is a moral issue. Is that it?
In a world in which most of the Third World countries abhor homosexuality and the pornographic nature of American entertainment, is Obama going to push the gay agenda?
Does he mean the morality of making sure all terrorists get a trial in civilian courts, not military courts, and that they get read their Miranda rights? Do we really have to prove to Bin Laden and his boys how moral our legal system is?????
Maybe they’ll all hold a “coffee” for him when he runs for relection.
But he’ll have no problem with re-education camps.
fine, do it. If one of the released gitmo detainees is involved with a plot to commit an act of terror and there is an incident, then it will be on Obama’s watch.

The Gay Reaction to Proposition 9 toward blacks presents a very dangerous dilemma for Obama. That’s why it has been bagged as a story by MSM, it was going the wrong way
States will lobby for massive federal funding for these projects. FDR effectively blackmailed senators and congressmen into voting for his agenda under threat of denying these funds. He imposed a top federal income tax rate of 79% on anyone earning over $100,000. 6 years into his term, America still suffered under 20% unemployment and deep recession.
I recommend Burton W. Folsom, Jr.’s ‘New Deal or Raw Deal: How FDR's Economic Legacy Has Damaged America’.
Here's a primer on NRO:

He's never run anything. This clown is in so far over his head, it's absolutely frightening.
Wow all you have to do to restore moral stature is to hate America. Who knew it was that easy?
