In the last 22 months, businesses have created more than three million jobs. Last year, they created the most jobs since 2005. American manufacturers are hiring again, creating jobs for the first time since the late 1990s.

Today, General Motors is back on top as the world's number one automaker. Chrysler has grown faster in the U.S. than any major car company. Ford is investing billions in U.S. plants and factories. And together, the entire industry added nearly 160,000 jobs.

A few weeks ago, the CEO of Master Lock told me that it now makes business sense for him to bring jobs back home. Today, for the first time in fifteen years, Master Lock's unionized plant in Milwaukee is running at full capacity.

Second, no American company should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas. From now on, every multinational company should have to pay a basic minimum tax. And every penny should go towards lowering taxes for companies that choose to stay here and hire here.
Third, if you're an American manufacturer, you should get a bigger tax cut. If you're a high-tech manufacturer, we should double the tax deduction you get for making products here. And if you want to relocate in a community that was hit hard when a factory left town, you should get help financing a new plant, equipment, or training for new workers.

My message is simple. It's time to stop rewarding businesses that ship jobs overseas, and start rewarding companies that create jobs right here in America. Send me these tax reforms, and I'll sign them right away.

Most new jobs are created in start-ups and small businesses. So let's pass an agenda that helps them succeed. Tear down regulations that prevent aspiring entrepreneurs from getting the financing to grow. Expand tax relief to small businesses that are raising wages and creating good jobs. Both parties agree on these ideas. So put them in a bill, and get it on my desk this year.

We have a supply of natural gas that can last America nearly one hundred years, and my Administration will take every possible action to safely develop this energy. Experts believe this will support more than 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade.
So clearly you weren't listening. Oh, and just for your "has not created jobs" fiasco...President Obama has created over 300,000 MANUFACTURING jobs since 2009. Not awesome, but 300,000 times more than you're trying to insinuate.
8.4 percent unemployment is what the middle class is feeling

Nice speech......if it had been from someone that just took office last week.
Hasn't this guy been president for a few years now?
You have to wonder how Gingrich is going to react when reality smacks him across the face and it's finally brought home to him that he's not going to be our next President.

I can see it now: "What? They're not going to vote for me??? How dare they fail to see my brilliance!"
Obama's speech was upbeat, positive and addressed a number of points well. But he'll need congressional approval for nearly all of it and that's not likely unless he gets a majority in both houses.
I also thought Mitch Daniels' rebuttal was the best in several years.
Thank you! It is only immoral and worth mentioning by the left only when it isnt their guy who did it!!
I'm an independent who finds this remark offensive. You cannot paint millions of people with one brush. Please show one person who voted for Clinton who thinks his behavior was OK.
The Democratic voters I know were and still are mortified by his conduct. First, it was immoral. It caused so much lost opportunity and created years of havoc, and made them all look like fools.
