"We've made progress," Obama told NBC's Matt Lauer. "The key right now is to just make sure we don't start turning in a new direction that could throw that progress off."

The timing of the interview was fortuitous for the president. His administration received a surprisingly robust jobs report Friday, allowing Obama to claim significant progress on the economic front before a Super Bowl pregame audience.
