Statement: BAY AREA COUNCIL’S STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
Bay Area Council President & CEO Jim Wunderman released the following statement tonight in response to President Obama’s State of the Union Address:
“President Obama’s State of the Union address tonight hit every theme and issue that is near and dear to the Bay Area Council. Whether it’s supporting innovation to better compete globally or easing the burden of government regulations, President Obama sent the right signal to the business community that he understands that our success is vital to America’s continued prosperity. His reinforced commitment to promoting trade, completing high-speed rail and rebuilding our infrastructure also provides optimism that he is committed to creating jobs over the next two years. Ultimately however, his words tonight will only matter if he is able to work across the aisle, forge compromise and bring the country together with real solutions to our nation’s most difficult challenges.”
