Obama Press Conference Video
“We can’t afford to wait. We can’t wait to see and hope for the best,” Obama said in Elkhart, Ind., a community reeling in job losses during the recession that has defined his young presidency. “We can’t posture and bicker and resort to the same failed ideas that got us in into this mess in the first place.”
“You’ve come to our county and asked us to trust you, but those that you have appointed to your Cabinet are not trustworthy and can’t handle their own budget and taxes,” she said. Others in the town-hall session booed her, but Obama interjected: “No, no, this is a legitimate question.”
“You know, look, it’s not perfect,” the president conceded. “But it is the right size, it is the right scope. Broadly speaking, it has the right priorities to create jobs that will jump-start our economy and transform the economy for the 21st century.”
“Doing nothing is not an option,” Obama said. “We’ve had a good debate. Now it’s time to act.”
“Being here in Elkhart, I am more confident than ever that we will get where we need to be,” Obama said. “Because I know people are struggling, but I also know that folks here are good workers and good neighbors who step up, who help each other out, who make sacrifices when times are tough.”
