Remarks of President Barack Obama on the Economy – As Prepared for Delivery
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010
Cleveland, Ohio
Good afternoon, Ohio. It’s good to be back.In the fall of 2008, one of the last rallies of my presidential campaign was here in the Cleveland area. It was a hopeful time, just two days before the election. We knew that if we pulled it off, we’d have the chance to tackle some big and difficult challenges that had been facing this country for a long time.
We also hoped for a chance to get beyond some of the old political divides – between Democrats and Republicans, Red states and Blue states – that had prevented us from making progress. Because although we are proud to be Democrats, we are prouder to be Americans – and we believed that no single party has a monopoly on wisdom.
That’s not to say that the election didn’t expose deep differences between the parties. I ran for President because for much of the last decade, a very specific governing philosophy had reigned about how America should work:
Cut taxes, especially for millionaires and billionaires. Cut regulations for special interests. Cut trade deals even if they didn’t benefit our workers. Cut back on investments in our people and our future – in education and clean energy; in research and technology. The idea was that if we had blind faith in the market; if we let corporations play by their own rules; if we left everyone else to fend for themselves, America would grow and prosper. Read the rest here.

Kaine to Dems: ‘We need have the president’s back’

PHILADELPHIA – Democratic Party Chairman Tim Kaine delivered a full-throated defense of his party’s record on the economy, health care and financial regulation here Wednesday as he kicked off the fall campaign season with a speech casting the Democrats as underdogs in the battle for control of Congress.
Kaine, a former Virginia governor, sharpened his critique of the Republican Party and warned that President Obama’s agenda is in jeopardy if Democrats lose their congressional majorities. It’s an argument designed to rally the party’s base, which polls suggest is far less enthusiastic about voting this fall than in the previous two election cycles when Democrats made major gains.
