‘I’ve got one mandate. I’ve got a mandate to help middle class families,’ Obama said yesterday in a wide-ranging news conference a week after winning re-election November 6.
The president spoke two days ahead of his first talks with congressional leaders to avoid a jump off the ‘fiscal cliff’ of 600 billion dollar in tax hikes and spending cuts looming at year’s end.
