He thinks this country’s fine and should go about doing business as usual. I just don’t feel that way. Not anymore. ‘Cause, hey, things aren’t fine. We got so many problems that we don’t even want to look at them anymore. They just blend together into this great big noise and pretty soon we can’t even hear ourselves think.

But that’s not even the worse part. The worst part is that we feel we can’t do anything about it. And that’s a tragedy; because we can. We don’t know where to start, maybe, maybe that’s what it is. But i have an idea of where we can start. From today, I’m going to make it the responsibility of this government to find a job for every American who wants one.

If you’ve ever seen the look on somebody’s face the day they finally get a job, I’ve had some experience with this, they look like they could fly. And its not about the paycheck, it’s about respect, it’s about looking in the mirror and knowing that you’ve done something valuable with your day. And if one person could start to feel this way, and then another person, and then another person, soon all these other problems may not seem so impossible. You don’t really know how much you can do until you, stand up and decide to try.
