This morning the President & Vice President addressed America's Governors, following the First Lady and Dr. Biden. They touched on topics ranging from the changes in the health care law that the President endorsed to rebuilding America's infrastructure. The President laid out his fundamental approach this way:
You see, part of the genius of our Founders was the establishment of a federal system in which each of our states serves as a laboratory for our democracy. Through this process, some of the best state ideas became some of America’s best ideas. So whether it’s through Race to the Top, or improving the Affordable Care Act, or reforming the way that we approach social programs by ensuring that spending is tied to success, our approach has been to give you the flexibility that you need to find your own innovative ways forward.
