President Obama marked his 100th day in office Wednesday with a prime-time news conference from the White House. Obama said the Bush administration’s use of waterboarding is torture and that he is gravely concerned about internal unrest in Pakistan. Obama also said he has been confronted with a series of atypical challenges.
President Obama: “I didn’t anticipate the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And so, you know, the typical president, I think, has two or three big problems. We’ve got seven or eight big problems.”
