Obama State of the Union Address – “We will recover”
Current Events January 27th, 2010Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
But while our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.
The weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation. The answers to our problems don’t lie beyond our reach. They exist in our laboratories and universities; in our fields and our factories; in the imaginations of our entrepreneurs and the pride of the hardest-working people on Earth. Those qualities that have made America the greatest force of progress and prosperity in human history we still possess in ample measure. What is required now is for this country to pull together, confront boldly the challenges we face, and take responsibility for our future once more.
This is a etter from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi:
President Barack Obama The White House Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
We greatly appreciate your support for the legislation we have sent you to guarantee fair pay for women and expanded health care for children, and for your leadership as we work to finalize an economic recovery bill, which we will send you shortly.
This Congress and your Administration have truly hit the ground running, but our hard work has just begun. We would like to invite you to address a Joint Session of the Congress on Tuesday, February 24 to share your vision for addressing the many critical challenges our country faces at home and abroad.
Thank you for considering this invitation to speak to the Congress and the nation. We look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
NANCY PELOSI HARRY REID
Speaker of the House Majority Leader of the Senate
