Obama's Weekly Address Focuses on the Budget

President Obama's Weekly YouTube address today focuses on the budget outline he released earlier this week. In breaking down the various elements of his budget, Obama explains how the specifics correspond to commitment to change he made on the campaign trail.

The most memorable line comes after he discusses the changes from the Washington status quo that his budget represents:

I know these steps won’t sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business, and I know they’re gearing up for a fight as we speak.  My message to them is this:

So am I.

Take a look at the whole address:

This very much feels like the President is governing with the large mandate he won on election day, and rightly so. It's amazing to think how much there is to do, after so much of this - energy, infrastructure, healthcare - has gone undone for the last 8 years or longer.
