News Americas, WASHINGTON, D.C., Weds. Jan. 25, 2012: President Obama was in full campaign mode last night, “fired up and ready to go,” much to the pleasure of Caribbean American Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, who lauded the President following his State of the Union address on Jan. 24th.

“I commend President Obama for having a vision that fights for hard working Americans, the middle class and the aspiring middle class,” said Clarke. “He has provided a blueprint consistent with our American ideals, aimed at putting more Americans to work, and the restoration of the American dream. President Obama highlighted in his plan a pathway to create more jobs through: American innovation and manufacturing; American ingenuity through alternative energy development and production; job training and skills development opportunities for American workers and core American values that emphasize fairness and personal responsibility.”
But the congresswoman said there is much work ahead of us to restore the strength of our economy.

“It’s time for all people of good will to move beyond our ideological differences and come together as a nation in support of common sense initiatives that create jobs, improve education, strengthen small businesses and place our nation firmly on the path to prosperity once again,” said Clarke. “I look forward to working with the White House to make certain that all Americans enjoy the benefits of our nation’s economic recovery, especially the people I represent in the 11th Congressional District of New York.”
