“….Yes, Lincoln spoke well, Mr. President, but he also built the intercontinental railways. Ike couldn’t speak as well as you, but he did build the intercontinental highway system. Kennedy spoke well but he also got us to the moon! What are you going to leave as your monument? Health care is great. But we need jobs to pay for health care. There’s still time to get started, Mr. President. You have to explain to the country why creating things matters. We need to build.”
