Let me give you a quick preview of what I’ll be fighting for and why.
The first cornerstone of a strong and growing middle class has to be an economy that generates more good jobs in durable, growing industries. Over the past four years, for the first time since the 1990s, the number of American manufacturing jobs hasn’t gone down; they’ve gone up. But we can do more. So I’ll push new initiatives to help more manufacturers bring more jobs back to America. We’ll continue to focus on strategies to create good jobs in wind, solar, and natural gas that are lowering energy costs and dangerous carbon pollution. And I’ll push to open more manufacturing innovation institutes that turn regions left behind by global competition into global centers of cutting-edge jobs. Let’s tell the world that America is open for business – including an old site right here in Galesburg, over on Monmouth Boulevard.
Tomorrow, I’ll also visit the port of Jacksonville, Florida to offer new ideas for doing what America has always done best: building things. We’ve got ports that aren’t ready for the new supertankers that will begin passing through the new Panama Canal in two years’ time. We’ve got more than 100,000 bridges that are old enough to qualify for Medicare. Businesses depend on our transportation systems, our power grids, our communications networks – and rebuilding them creates good-paying jobs that can’t be outsourced. And yet, as a share of our economy, we invest less in our infrastructure than we did two decades ago. That’s inefficient at a time when it’s as cheap as it’s been since the 1950s. It’s inexcusable at a time when so many of the workers who do this for a living sit idle. The longer we put this off, the more expensive it will be, and the less competitive we will be. The businesses of tomorrow won’t locate near old roads and outdated ports; they’ll relocate to places with high-speed internet; high-tech schools; systems that move air and auto traffic faster, not to mention get parents home to their kids faster. We can watch that happen in other countries, or we can choose to make it happen right here, in America.
In an age when jobs know no borders, companies will also seek out the country that boasts the most talented citizens, and reward them with good pay. The days when the wages for a worker with a high-school degree could keep pace with the earnings of someone who got some higher education are over. Technology and global competition aren’t going away. So we can either throw up our hands and resign ourselves to diminished living standards, or we can do what America has always done: adapt, pull together, fight back and win.
Which brings me to the second cornerstone of a strong middle class: an education that prepares our children and our workers for the global competition they’ll face.

I boggles the mind that anyone would take anything Hussein says at face value.
Who in American doesn’t see by now that he is the worst possible person to have in high office?
Preaching to the choir in Illinois.
Obama taking credit for any slight increase in manufacturing is dishonest. It's mostly occurred in states with Republican governors who've gotten their budgets in line.
My sister-in-law and her husband--and all of their friends. They Looooove "Bareback" Obama!
A lot of words but absolutely no substance..
Yep, my sister and her husband. And all of their friends.

To call things like Bengazhi, IRS, NSA, not to forger Fast & Furious also
“ phony” should immediately eject him from office.
He is a disgrace as the leader of OUR COUNTRY....
Typical
That reads like he went through the archives at AlterNet.com and did random cut/pastes out of around two dozen articles.
You just know that someone pulled a speech off the shelf from 2012 (2007?) changed a few words and sent him out to campaign against IRS, Benghazi, NSA, Fast and Furious, etc.
And the media get to vote which is “relevant” and which should be on the frontpage or the evening news.
I’m betting they pick....”We’ll continue to focus on strategies to create good jobs in wind, solar, and natural gas that are lowering energy costs and dangerous carbon pollution.”
That makes sense, he is nothing but a “composite” himself..
Obama claims to support manufacturing, but it's only an excuse to spend. Infrastructure, sure, but the real goal is putting some walking-around money on the street. Elections are just around the corner, and the 'Rats need some juice....
What he actually said here was that those of you who are heading into Year 7 of a jobs recession, it’s all the fault of those EEEEEEVIL 1% ers who earned 40% more while you lost your job or your wages stagnate.
Standard fare for online leftist pap.
Stunning to see it coming from the mouth of a POTUS.
Sounded like a true community organizer. LOL.
Welfare Warriors?
I think they left off “aborted”
Let me guess. Spend more money. Raise taxes. Print more money. More green energy “investment”.
Did I miss anything important?
The evil rich...other than that you nailed it
