TOWNHALL: At Final 2015 Presser, Obama Says He’s Going To Leave It All Out On The Field In 2016

Matt Vespa | Dec 18, 2015

Around 2p.m., President Obama held his final news conference of the year. He touted the longest streak of private sector job growth since the recession, with 13.7 million new jobs created. The unemployment rate has been cut in half, and the steady implementation of Obamacare has driven the uninsured rate down. The president mentioned that 17 million Americans have gained coverage, 6 million since January 1 of this year alone. He mentioned a clean energy industry boom, and was happy that marriage equality became a reality in all 50 states.
