WASHINGTON | Wed Jan 20, 2010 9:51am EST

WASHINGTON Jan 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will stick to his policy agenda despite his Democratic Party's loss of a key Senate seat in a Massachusetts special election, a top White House aide said on Wednesday.

"We'll have to think through this next year from the standpoint of tactics but in substance the mission can't change," Obama senior adviser David Axelrod told reporters. (Reporting by Matt Spetalnick)
