CLEARLY OBAMA INTENDS TO HAVE THIS LONG AND DETAILED SPEECH BE THE GAME PLAN FOR THE REST OF HIS FIRST TERM IN OFFICE...
IT IS UP TO CONGRESS NOW TO PASS THE "FIVE PILLARS" INTO LAW...ASAP.
AND HOPE THAT THE ECONOMY WILL RESPOND.
"It's a foundation built upon five pillars that will grow our economy and make this new century another American century: new rules for Wall Street that will reward drive and innovation; new investments in education that will make our workforce more skilled and competitive; new investments in renewable energy and technology that will create new jobs and industries; new investments in health care that will cut costs for families and businesses; and new savings in our federal budget that will bring down the debt for future generations. That is the new foundation we must build. That must be our future – and my Administration's policies are designed to achieve that future."
