I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me.

So how do Latinos feel if there's a big investment just in the African American community, and they're looking around and saying, "We're poor as well. What kind of help are we getting?" Or Asian Americans who say, "Look, I'm a first-generation immigrant, and clearly I didn't have anything to do with what was taking place."

Since 2010, America has put more people back to work than Europe, Japan, and all advanced economies combined.

You know, it's fashionable right now for people to be cynical. We go in cycles like this and right now a lot of people are saying, 'Oh, America is doing terribly' and 'What are we going to do?'

Together, we're going to finish the job we started.
