The government steps in to assist Citigroup by injecting $20 billion into the troubled firm, while President-elect Barack Obama answers questions about his economic team. Following are today's top videos:
Obama’s Economic Plan Q&A
“I want to see [the stimulus package] enacted right away. It is going to be of a size and scope that is necessary to get this economy back on track. I don’t want to get into the numbers right now, part of the task of this economic team behind me is to help shape the details of that plan…”

—Al Dellibovi, President & CEO, Federal home Loan Bank of NY
Citi's Bailout
“No, I don’t think this is [a nationalization of Citigroup]. This is a transaction where we issue preferred securities to the government; we’re pairing a fair coupon on those securities. We have issued warrants in conjunction with these securities that gives the government an incremental 4.5 percent ownership in the company or a total of 7.8 percent and their ownership is limited to that level.”
—Gary Crittenden, CFO, Citigroup
