President Obama projected that 2014 would be a "breakthrough year"
for the U.S. economy.
"We head into next year with an economy that's stronger than it was
when we started the year," Obama said Dec. 20 at the White House
during his final press conference of 2013.
He said "more Americans are finding work and ... our businesses are
positioned for new growth and new jobs."
Obama spoke shortly after the Commerce Department reported that
gross domestic product rose at a revised 4.1% annual clip in the
third quarter, the fastest pace in almost two years.
