Step-by-step explanation:

After mentioning the rising stock market that indicated more profit for corporate organizations, President Obama quickly mentioned that those were not the only yardsticks for success. The success of the common man was more important, and the government would need to ensure that everyone will progress.

To strengthen this position, he explained that the middle class will need to be strengthened and that he was willing to cooperate with Congress to achieve that.
