And so I wanted to come here today to say to you, we need your help. We need all of your help. We're moving to restore a measure of global growth. We are beginning to get good predictions out of Europe, a lot of people thinking that Europe is beginning to turn around. But we have to continue to set the standard.
People know that our economy is functioning at a higher level than many of our trading partners.
They expect us to take the lead. And even though this is harder for us than it is for our partners, we've got to try to find a way to do it. If it is broad-based, if it is deep, and if it is real and if it is constant, we can do this. But I really need your help if we're going to do it. And I hope you will resolve to make sure that we do achieve this so that we can go on to other areas.
