White House Weekly Address: The President Talks About How to Build a Rising, Thriving Middle Class


President Obama talks about his belief that a rising, thriving middle class is the true engine of economic growth, and that to reignite that engine and continue to build on the progress we’ve made over the last four years, we need to invest in three areas: jobs, skills and opportunity.

This week, the President honored fallen officers and top cops, spoke on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, invited both the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and of Turkey to the White House, and kicked off a new Google+ Hangout series on science and technology. That’s May 10th through May 16th or, “We the Geeks.”
