Washington : Describing 2014 as a breakthrough year for America, President Barack Obama today said that the country would enter 2015 with new confidence. "In last year's final press conference, I said that 2014 would be a year of action and would be a breakthrough year for America. And it has been," Obama told reporters at his year-ender news conference.
"Yes, there were crises that we had to tackle around the world, many that were unanticipated. We have more work to do to make sure our economy, our justice system, and our government work not just for the few, but for the many. "But there is no doubt that we can enter into the new year with renewed confidence that America's making significant strides where it counts.
The steps that we took early on to rescue our economy and rebuild it on a new foundation helped make 2014 the strongest year for job growth since the 1990s. All told, over a 57-month streak, our businesses have created nearly 11 million new jobs," said the US president. "America is now the number one producer of oil, the number one producer of natural gas. We're saving drivers about 70 cents a gallon at the pump over last Christmas.
