Update: Here's the video of the interview:

Interview over. On healthcare, Obama says he's consulting with the democrats and next week republicans are coming to the White House to submit their ideas. Then the republicans and democrats will meet and that is how healthcare will proceed. He didn't call it starting at square one as Katie suggested. Obama says to fix the deficit, health reform must happen.
To get healthcare done, Obama is going to have to act like the supervisor and oversee the democrats and republicans because both are too immature to get anything done on their own.

Obama says the Colts have to be favored because of Peyton Manning, but he has a soft spot for New Orleans.

CBS WH reporter Mark Knoller tweets:
Obama's q&a session just now with Katie Couric was his 163rd interview since taking office. More than any other pres in first 13 months.

Katie Couric will interview Obama before the Super Bowl at 4:30 pm eastern. Watch it on your TVs or here. I'll post video when it comes available.
