As CBS chief White House correspondent Chip Reid reports, at his first White House meeting with congressional leaders, President Obama stressed the importance of bipartisan support for his economic stimulus plan, while acknowledging there's still a lot of work to do.

"I recognize that there are still some differences around the table and between the administration and members of Congress about particular details of the plan," said Mr. Obama.

On day four of his presidency, Mr. Obama also:
