President Obama is speaking at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce:
“I'm here in the interest of being more neighborly. Maybe we would have
gotten off on a better foot if I had brought over a fruitcake when we first
moved in. The truth is, this isn't the first time I've been to the Chamber, or
the first time we've exchanged ideas. Over the last two years, I've sought
advice from many of you as we were grappling with the worst recession most
of us have ever known. It's a recession that led to some very difficult
decisions. For many of you, that meant restructuring and branch closings
and layoffs that were painful to make. For my administration, it meant a
series of emergency measures I wouldn't have taken under normal
circumstances, but that were necessary to stop our economy from falling off
the cliff.”
