This is going to be a year of action.
That’s what President Obama told his Cabinet today at their first official meeting of the new year.
“We’ve got a lot to do in 2014,” he said. “We want to maximize the
pace of our recovery, but most importantly, we want to make sure that
every American is able to benefit from that recovery, that we’re not
leaving anybody behind and everybody is getting a fair shot.”
The President said he was pleased Congress has put forward a bill to
fund the government, and called on lawmakers to take action on other
important issues, including extending emergency unemployment insurance
and passing legislation to reform our immigration system.
“I’m looking forward to working with Democrats and Republicans, House
members and Senate members, to try to continue to advance the economic
recovery and to provide additional ladders of opportunity for
everybody,” President Obama said.
