Our early actions to rescue the economy set the stage for the longest streak of private sector job growth on record with 13. 7 million new jobs in that time. The unemployment rate has been cut in half down to five percent. And most importantly wages grew up faster than anytime since the recovery begin.

ISILs capacity Both to infiltrate western countries with people who've traveled to Syria or traveled to Iraq and the savviness of their social media, their ability to recruit disaffected individuals who may be French, or British, or even U. S. citizens. We'll continue to make them dangerous for quite some time. [ NOISE ] But we will systematically go after them. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME Raw: President Obama at 2015 End Year Presser","description":"President Obama at End Year Presser","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ILI9MWgb/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-12-18T21:17:29.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ILI9MWgb.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/ILI9MWgb/","duration":"PT3M10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/ILI9MWgb/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
