It's a tall order. There's still lots of work to do.

This is one that we're going to have to work through carefully,

The way to an American economic comeback, the way to help those out of work today find a paycheck, is to unleash the forces of job creation in America. The source of new jobs isn't going to be the bureaucracies of Washington, but rather the creativity, ingenuity, and hard work of the American people.

Our country needs people who are maybe a little less focused on themselves and on the flash and a little more focused on how do we actually create a better environment for success for our young people, how do we get people back to work, how do we regain our standing internationally.

You want to be the best at work in order to go out and celebrate.

I'm very encouraged by the talks and I'm very hopeful that we can deepen our economic relationship with Korea through an FTA, but we're not quite there yet.
