Obama: 'day of reckoning' has arrived for us economy
In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama told the American people that the ``day of reckoning'' has arrived for the nation's economy, which he pledged to not just fix but make stronger than it was before the current crisis.
On his first workday back at the White House after a 10-day Martha's Vineyard vacation and a trip to New Orleans on Sunday, Mr. Obama addressed the nation's mounting economic anxieties in brief remarks from the Rose Garden.
