Excerpt from Obama's Address: "We will rebuild, we will recover...emerge stronger than before."
Excerpt from Obama's Address to Congress
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 24, 2009

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.

8. The government could take money and build factories and hire Americans
train them for the various jobs and build green cars and green energy sources and give the workers ownership shares and turn the factory over to the workers.

Socialism? Yeah so what?
