I was able read the transcript. Two things to add to my above comment. First. President Obama is equally as guilty as congress in this country's mess. The president telling congress to start behaving in the interest of the people is like the pot telling the pan to clean of the grease. They are both guilty of the same (grime) crime. Second, the comment was made that our problem stems back 20 years. In my opinion, our problems started much further back. I would like to suggest, this nation's problems started as far back as when we nationalized banks and created the Federal Reserve.  The occupy movement would have been far more effective if they were around at that time. Now, it would seem, the frustration is too little too late.
