For the Record

Just wanted to make sure this is noted, before it gets spun, adjusted, and interpreted with "what he meant was...":

"I will be held accountable. I have got four years [first term in office]," the president said. "I think a year from now people are going to see that we are starting to make some progress, but there is still going to be some pain out there. If I do not have this [economic recovery] done in three years, then there is going to be a one-term proposition [will not be re-elected]."
- President Barack H. Obama, aired Feb 02, 2009 on NBC
