More time than any of us would like. And we’re still facing some headwinds, like the situation in Europe. But while there are certain economic developments we can’t fully control, there are plenty of things we can control. There are plenty of steps we can take — steps that we must take right now — to speed up this recovery; to help create jobs; and to restore some of the financial security that so many families have lost. It’s within our control to do all of that right now,” President Obama said in a speech in Newton, Iowa today.

“But here’s the thing: too many of my Republican friends in Congress are standing in the way. They either want to do nothing at all or they want to double down on the same failed policies that got us into this mess. They want to cut more taxes — especially for the wealthiest Americans. They want to cut back more of the rules we put in place for banks and financial institutions. They want to wait for the housing market to hit bottom, and just hope for the best,” Obama said.
