Washington, DC – "President Obama gave the nation a clear and energetic vision of how his bold agenda will help our economy recover and how we will restore the American dream for working families. He believes, as do I, in the fundamental strengths of this country and he trusts the American people enough to tell them the truth. As he outlined, now is the time to act boldly and wisely to rebuild our economy, restore fiscal sanity, stem the tide of foreclosures and stimulate millions of new jobs by investing in infrastructure, education, healthcare technology and renewable energy.
The President committed to being honest about the difficulties ahead and he challenged Congress and the American people to pull together, confront boldly the problems we face and take responsibility for our future once more. I am proud to join him in that mission.
