The Powerful Message by the President: “Sobering and Stirring”
 
 
(Washington D.C.)- Rep. Sander Levin issued the following statement tonight after President Barack Obama’s address to Congress.

“President Barack Obama was both sobering and stirring.

“He was sober about the challenges we face as individuals and as a nation and stirring about the actions we can and must take to meet these challenges whether its jobs, housing, health care, education or energy independence.

“The President hit it out of the park when he said, “the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.”  And, he demonstrated he understands the role of advanced technology in the automotive industry when he indicated that we cannot accept a future where domestic electric cars are powered by Korean batteries.

“The path forward is not easy, but the President demonstrated his capacity for leadership tonight and offered the American people a blueprint for a brighter future”
