“It is time for young people to have good jobs and we are going to make sure that we provide those jobs.
“We have laid a foundation but we are going to build on that foundation; every young man and woman ought to have a decent job; you ought to have something good enough to do.
“Come Feb. 16, that will be a special day because I know we are going to win on that day.”
