when you are President, you are at the top. you can use the word I, and I will. and for him to get the job done, he may use the word need, like in I need congress to do this, it's their job, BUT if they don't do it, then I will. makes sense to me.
the only people that can collect unemployment, are people that work and pay into the system. the president asked congress to give back the unemployment benefits, to one and a half Million people that were cut off.
another statement I liked was, he said it was time to fix the problem where women and men doing the same job, should get the same amount of pay. for each dollar a man makes a woman doing the same job only gets 0.77 cents.
no need to list every thing he said, but overall a very good speach given by President Obama.
