The last timeI was herewas about a year ago, in the final days of the campaign. I know how much you misshearing how Iapprove this message every night on your TV. (Laughter.) I will say it is niceto behere when the only real battle for Ohio is the Browns-Bengals game thisSunday. (Applause.)He’s got the Browns shirt right here, Brownscap. (Laughter.) 　　I want to thank Scotty for thatterrific introduction. Give him a biground of applause. (Applause.) He is a natural. I want to thank your CEO, Lakshmi Mittal, forinvesting in Americaand the Cleveland area. We appreciate him. (Applause.) And I want to thankall of you forhaving me here today. 　　Along with me, there are a coupleof people I just want to acknowledge. First of all,America’s Secretary of Energy, Ernie Moniz, is here. Right there. (Applause.) AndCongresswomanMarcy Kaptur is here. Give Marcy a biground of applause. (Applause.) Fightingfor working people every day. 　　And earlier this afternoon I hada chance to see your mayor, Frank Jackson; your countyexecutive, EdFitzGerald. And even though they’re nothere, I want to thank them for the greatwork they’re doing on behalf ofworking people throughout the region. (Applause.) 　　And then, finally, I want tothank Mark and Gary for showing me one of the biggest steelplants inAmerica. And they told me that folks areproud to have been making steel right here fora century -- 100 years -- righthere. (Applause.) And they explained that, today, the steelyoumake in Cleveland is some of the strongest you’ll find anywhere in theworld. It’s one of themost productiveplants in the world. Best workers in theworld. (Applause.) 　　And what’s remarkable is, whenyou think about it, go back to where this plant was just afew years ago. The economy was in free fall, auto industryon the brink of collapse. And thatmeantdemand for steel had dried up. The blastfurnaces went quiet. About 1,200steelworkerspunched out for what might have been the last time. And that all came at the end of a decadewhenthe middle class was already working harder and harder just to get by, andnearly one inthree American manufacturing jobs had vanished -- a lot of themgoing overseas. And that couldhavedevastated this community for good. 　　But we rolled up our sleeves, wemade some tough choices. We rescued andretooled theAmerican auto industry; it saved more than a million jobs. We bet on American ingenuity andAmericanworkers. (Applause.) And assembly lines started humming again, andautomakersstarted to make cars again. And just a few months after this plant shutdown, your plantmanager got the call: Fire those furnaces back up, get those workers back on the job. And overthe last four years, you’ve madeyourselves one of the most productive steel mills not just inAmerica, but inthe world. In the world. (Applause.) 　　So you retooled to make thestronger steel that goes into newer, better American cars andtrucks. You created new partnerships with schools andcommunity colleges to make sure thatfolks who work here have the high-techskills they need for the high-tech jobs -- because I waslooking around thisfactory, and there’s a whole bunch of computer stuff going on. 　　One of your engineers -- and Iwant to make sure I get Margaret’s name right here --Margaret Krolikowski. Did I get that right, Margaret (Applause.) Where’s Margaret Whereisshe There is she is, back there. So I’m going to quote you -- I’m going toquote you. Here’swhat Margaretsaid: “;When we came back, we wanted tomake sure we were in a position wherewe never shut down again.〞; Never shut down again. And that means making sure that workershereare constantly upgrading their skills and investments being made in thestate-of-the-arttechnology. 　　And it was interesting, when Iwas meeting a number of the folks who were giving me thetour -- folks who havebeen here 30 years, 40 years -- but obviously the plant has changed, andsoduring that period they’ve had to upgrade their skills. And that’s what’s happened. And thestory of this plant is the story ofAmerica over the last five years. Wehaven’t just beenrecovering from a crisis. What we’ve been trying to do is rebuild a new foundation for growthandprosperity to protect ourselves from future crises. And because of the grit and resilienceandoptimism of the American people, we’re seeing comeback stories like yours allacrossAmerica. 　　Over the last 44 months, ourbusinesses have created 7.8 million new jobs. Last month,another 200,000 Americans went back to work. (Applause.) And a lot of those jobs are inmanufacturing. So now we’ve got more work to do to get thoseengines of the economy churningeven faster. But because we’ve been willing to do some hard things, not just kick thecan downthe road
