That means today - yeah, go ahead and clap. So, when President Biden and I took office, we decided to invest in the working people of America, to create millions of jobs, to rebuild American manufacturing, to repair our roads and bridges, to replace every lead pipe in our nation, to connect every home with high-speed Internet, to expand clean energy production, and to make sure that every person in America - not just the wealthy or well-connected - have the opportunity to thrive.Īll that, ladies and gentlemen and everyone else - that is called “Bidenomics.” (Applause.) That is called Bidenomics, and we are very proud of Bidenomics.Īnd as today’s jobs numbers make clear: Bidenomics is working. Trickle-down economics - well, it benefitted big corporations and the wealthiest of Americans but not a lot of regular folks. Entire communities have been left out and left behind. We knew that, for far too long, our economy has not been working for working people. President Biden and I came into office with a plan to grow and strengthen America’s economy. And you are part of the pride of our nation. (Applause.) Thank you.Īnd to the small-business owners and entrepreneurs of America, including those here today: You are the backbone of our communities and of our economy. So, I thank the two Dons for all that you do. They’ve been traveling the - the country and really inspiring so much of the work we have done as an administration. We’ve been working a lot together over these last couple of years, and they really are extraordinary. But I will say that, in particular, I do want to thank the leaders of our Commerce Department and - and Deputy Secretary Don Graves and Under Secretary Don Cravins. I could spend all afternoon mentioning who you are, but I will not do that in case I overlook anybody in particular. (Applause.)Īnd, of course, it is good to be here today with so many incredible leaders. And I want to thank Monica again for her introduction and for your leadership. She was part of the cultural fabric of the community, as well as someone who hired locally, who mentored, and who role-modeled what it means to be invested and be successful.Īnd so, this is very personal for me to be here with all of you and to applaud the work that is being done here. She was not only a business leader she was a civic leader. And she was a matriarch of the community. And we lived in the apartment above the nursery school that Ms. And we had a second mother who lived two doors down, Ms. (Applause.) You know?īut I j- I just have to say, because - many of you may know this, but, you know, my sister, Maya, and I were raised by our mother, and she worked long days. I had the great joy and the honor and privilege of meeting with some of the small-business owners who occupy this space, and I have to tell you: Their innovation, their enthusiasm, their love of this community - and, by extension, the country - is really so inspiring. THE VICE PRESIDENT: I was just saying to Monica: I love when she said “the power of possibilities.” Isn’t that right? And, really, the power behind the power of possibilities is that we, as a community, as a society, see it and then invest in it. THE VICE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everyone.

The action sequences are very well done, fast-paced and thrilling. Fortunately, it manages to remain interesting and always has some kind of hook to keep the viewer glued to the screen. The film is a bit cheesy at times, and a bit sentimental at times. He sounded immature and incompetent, at best. The script is also to blame, as the character doesn't act or reason the way a President would, with dialogue not suited for a high profile individual such as a President. Foxx is so bad and unconvincing as the President, it quite frankly is the worst portrayal of a President I have ever seen. My biggest issue with 'White House Down' was casting Jamie Foxx as President Sawyer.

While dealing with a serious matter, 'White House Down' is unfortunately laden with annoying, unfunny humor which completely ruined any potential suspense. 'Olympus has Fallen' was a more serious film, but it also had a much higher body count making it slightly more unrealistic. Which one did you enjoy more? I enjoyed both, for different reasons. Interestingly, in a space of just three months, 2013 saw the release of two films with the same premise: 'White House Down', and 'Olympus has Fallen'.
