No, he didn't say that directly but the entire tone of the speech was government (which he will lead) is the solution. He even said the recovery "......begins with this plan – a plan I am confident will save or create at least three million jobs over the next few years."

That is a pipe dream because his plan is all about bigger and more intrusive federal government, 600,000 more government jobs, spending money on programs that do nothing more than transfer wealth from the productive to companies that will build roads and bridges and alternative energy sources, etc. (of course after the bureaucracy of government wastes 50 cents of every dollar that goes out the door). With oil at $45 / barrel I am at a loss to understand how investing government funds in unproven and more costly energy sources does anything the help the economy in the short run except to mollify his environmental wacko supporters.

Government needs to get out of the way!
