Sustainable Detroit: It Will Survive

Tuesday, January 28, 2014

The President's closing lines: "The America we want for our kids – a rising America where honest work is plentiful and communities are strong; where prosperity is widely shared and opportunity for all lets us go as far as our dreams and toil will take us – none of it is easy. But if we work together; if we summon what is best in us, with our feet planted firmly in today but our eyes cast towards tomorrow – I know it’s within our reach. Believe it."

In North Carolina, Obama makes move in ‘year of action’

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/01/15/in-north-carolina-obama-to-make-move-in-year-of-action/

No, no more spending! "I’m also convinced we can help Americans return to the workforce faster by reforming unemployment insurance so that it’s more effective in today’s economy. But first, this Congress needs to restore the unemployment insurance you just let expire for 1.6 million people."

http://politicslive.cnn.com/Event/State_of_the_Union_2014/mobile?Theme=14238

"Businesses plan to invest almost $100 billion in new factories that use natural gas. I’ll cut red tape to help states get those factories built, and this Congress can help by putting people to work building fueling stations that shift more cars and trucks from foreign oil to American natural gas. My administration will keep working with the industry to sustain production and job growth while strengthening protection of our air, our water, and our communities. And while we’re at it, I’ll use my authority to protect more of our pristine federal lands for future generations."

http://politicslive.cnn.com/Event/State_of_the_Union_2014/mobile?Theme=14238

"Let’s pass a patent reform bill that allows our businesses to stay focused on innovation, not costly, needless litigation."

http://politicslive.cnn.com/Event/State_of_the_Union_2014/mobile?Theme=14238

"My administration has launched two hubs for high-tech manufacturing in Raleigh and Youngstown, where we’ve connected businesses to research universities that can help America lead the world in advanced technologies. Tonight, I’m announcing we’ll launch six more this year."

http://politicslive.cnn.com/Event/State_of_the_Union_2014/mobile?Theme=14238

"In the coming months, let’s see where else we can make progress together. Let’s make this a year of action. That’s what most Americans want – for all of us in this chamber to focus on their lives, their hopes, their aspirations. And what I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all – the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead."
