"It's Time for Us to Take Care of Business"

Earlier this afternoon, President Obama spoke to the White House press corps to discuss the midterm elections and his next steps forward.

"What stands out to me," he said, "is that the American people sent a message, one that they’ve sent for several elections now. They expect the people they elect to work as hard as they do. They expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours. They want us to get the job done."

The President made clear that "it's time for us to take care of business," and that there are things we have to do that can't wait another two or four years."
