Two things.
It has been Obamas MO to think if he talks about it, it is handled, done, finished, solved.
How many presidents have made that kind of speech. Many

Talk, Talk, Talk

Second, It is also easy to give a speech to a bought and paid for audience full of bought and paid for union workers and their bought and paid for bosses.

So I still wonder why you support this president for another 4 years.

I have not seen the speech, I will so I can try to understand what you see in this man.
