Obama, On CBS's "Face The Nation" this morning: "My inclination is to support it...While I look forward to reviewing the language of the legislation, it appears that the tentative deal embraces these principles [that I said needed to be in the package]."

"I saw Chas Gasparino walking down the middle of 20th Street this morning [Saturday] at around 11, trying to hail a cab. And by middle I mean basically on the double yellow line. He had on a suit with no tie, and was walking slowly but with determination, carrying a weekend bag over his shoulder. He was with a middle-aged woman. He was fully dressed, of course, but his pecs looked huge. "
