Obama: My ‘Project’ Continues After My Presidency

Published May 5, 2015 11:24am ET



In remarks last night to Democratic donors in New York City, President Obama talked about the “project” he started continuing after he leaves the White House.

“Now, I intend to get as much done in the next 22 months as possible.  As you’ve noticed, I’ve been pretty busy — (laughter) — and I will continue to be.  And I’m hopeful that we may find some opportunities for collaboration with the Republican Congress — for example, on trade.  Hopefully, on infrastructure.  There may be some things where there’s some convergence.  But if we’re going to deliver on the promise that’s there for all of us, then we’re still going to need to realign our budgets to our values, and we’re going to have to fight for priorities like immigration reform,” Obama said, according a transcript provided by the White House.
