Julian Castro: History Has Shown Obama Has Been Right, His Critics Wrong
“You know, it is also true that along the way our president has had some nay sayers, but I think that history has shown that he's been right and they've been off base. (Applause) In fact, you may remember, a couple of years ago, in 2012, his opponents claimed that they can get the unemployment rate to 6 percent by 2016. The thing is, President Obama got it lower than that two years earlier! (Applause) They blamed him for a high gas prices but I just saw the gas is at $1.99 a gallon. Thank you, Mr. President. To put it simply, President Barack Obama is reinvigorating the American dream for current and future generations. And he's not done.
