When you win the election you’ve only just started.
Now it’s time to do the things that need to be done. It’s time to overcome obstruction. It’s time to help the poor and the middle
class.
It’s also time to reject the concept of a grand bargain and
instead strengthen Social Security and Medicare. Don’t cut them, fix what needs fixing and
increase the benefits.
It’s time to improve economic chances for everyone; make the
tax system fair – and remember that fair does not always mean equal; control
spending but also remember that not all spending is wasteful and debt is not
necessarily evil.
Notice that none of this is partisan. This is what every president needs to do. The hard work is helping the most people
possible and that is what needs to be done.
When there is a strong middle class everyone prospers – just look at the
numbers and look at the history of this country.
Congratulations to all the winners. Enjoy the victory. Then get to work, fix this mess and help
people. That’s the job you just fought
so hard to get, so do it.
