President-elect Obama Must Continue to Inspire the American People (Rep. James Clyburn)

Next Congress I want us to be able to put together a massive recovery deal so that President-elect Obama can sign it in his first few minutes in office. I would hope that he will continue to do those things that are inspiring the American people. So much of what our challenges are going to be as a nation, and our ability to meet those challenges, will rest upon the dreams, aspirations, and hope of the American people. It will give us a foundation to move forward. So far, the American people are inspired and I hope that continues.
