I don’t think we fully realized how dramatic some of the changes would be as we came into office. We inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, a banking system on the verge of meltdown. We had lost 4 million jobs by the time I was sworn in and would then lose another 4 million in the few months right after I was sworn in before our economic policies had a chance to take root.

Internationally, we’ve gone through a **Teutonic [tectonic] shift in the Middle East that could have enormous ramifications for years to come. And in addition to these crises, we have had to grapple with some ongoing trends in this country that, frankly, have made America less competitive, less just, less equitable — all the things that we talked about during the course of 2007 and 2008.

Now, and I haven’t even mentioned pirates — (laughter) — earthquakes and the H1N1 scare. So you guys have just forgotten all this stuff. (Laughter.) But I’m keeping a tally. (Laughter.)

Despite crises large and small, what’s been extraordinary is the progress that we’ve been able to make. And I could not be prouder of my team, but most importantly, I couldn’t be prouder of my supporters who’ve hung in there during these very tumultuous times.

But think about it. We saved the country from a Great Depression. An economy that was shrinking by about 6 percent in the first quarter that I came in is now growing fairly steadily. Over the last 14 months we’ve added over 2 million new jobs in the private sector here in the United States of America. Some things that folks thought would not work like saving the auto industry have worked. And so not only are the Big 3 automakers back all the workers that were about to be laid off. So that’s about a million jobs saved all turning a profit, in some cases, the first profit they’ve seen in a decade, but they’ve now hired back all the workers that were about to be laid off. So that’s about a million jobs saved just from those efforts on that front.

We managed a banking crisis in a way that taxpayers are basically getting paid almost every dime back from the interventions that we entered into. Along the way we passed historic health care reform that had eluded us for a hundred years — (applause) — and we passed financial regulatory reform. We made sure that people who love their country can serve regardless of their sexual orientation by overturning “don’t ask, don’t tell.” (Applause.) Got a couple of tough women on the Supreme Court, including the first Latina. (Applause.)

We passed equal pay for equal work legislation. We made the largest investment in education in our history, but didn’t just put more money in, initiating unprecedented reforms that are having ramifications all across the country. We made the largest investment in clean energy in our history, and have created entire new industries, like the advanced battery manufacturing industry here in the United States of America, where we look like we’ll have close to a 40-percent share of the market in the next few years.

Doubled our exports. Ended a war, as promised, and are working another war in a place where we’re going to start drawing down our troops this year and are in a position to help Afghans secure their own country.

So I’m realty proud of what we’ve gotten done. But we’ve got so much more to do. We have so much more to do. And in an era where everybody wants instant gratification and people are very, very impatient, the fact of the matter is that some of these changes are going to take time. Right now probably the thing that folks are most worried about around the country — and rightfully so because it directly hinges on every aspect of our lives — are gas prices.

We don’t have a silver bullet for gas prices. The way we’re going to bring gas prices down is do some of the things that we’ve already done — increasing fuel-efficiency standards on cars and trucks, and start developing new sources of energy and promoting electric vehicles. But it’s going to take some time. We’re going to have to be able to sustain that effort over the next several years.

Internationally, what’s happening in the Middle East is a opportunity because, frankly, it was a very dangerous situation for us to rely on a handful of autocrats to maintain stability in the region. And now we have the possibility of democracy and opportunity, but there are also enormous dangers. And how that plays itself out is going to require steady leadership over the next several years.

With respect to the economy, it is still changing in profound ways and the unemployment rate remains way too high. And the only way we are going to make sure that we drive that unemployment rate down, but more importantly, we start driving wages and incomes back up, is if the changes we’re making in education, the changes that need to be made in terms of ensuring that we have an investment in innovation and basic research that allows us to maintain our cutting edge, making sure we get a handle on our deficit in a way that reflects our values — that’s going to take some time. It’s going to require work.
