| Description | n the wake of a weak U.S. jobs report, U.S. President Barack Obama is stepping up the pressure on Congress to help put more Americans back to work.
In his weekly address Saturday, President Obama spoke from a manufacturing plant in the northern state of Minnesota about steps he said the nation's leaders can take right now to help create jobs and grow the economy.
He said Congress should "get to work" to pass sections of his job bill that would put teachers, firefighters, police officers and construction workers back on the job. He said that with so many people struggling, now is not the time for Congress to - in his words - "sit on its hands" and play politics. |
