What does change look like? We can't say it any better than President Obama, speaking recently in New York:
Three years later, because of what you did in 2008, we have already started to see what change looks like.
Think about it. Change is the first bill I signed into law -- a law that says you get an equal day's work -- somebody who puts in an equal day's work should get equal day's pay -- because our daughters should be treated just like our sons and have the same opportunities. That's change.
Change is the decision we made to rescue the auto companies from collapse, even when some politicians were saying we should let Detroit go bankrupt. Change is more than 1 million jobs that we saved, and the local businesses that are picking up again -- and the fuel-efficient cars that are now rolling off the assembly lines with that word, Made In America, stamped on them.
Change is the decision we made to stop waiting for Congress to do something about our addiction to oil and finally raise fuel-efficiency standards for the first time in 30 years. And because of that, by the next decade, we'll be driving cars that get 55 miles a gallon -- at least. That's what change is.
