Obama: Time for Congress to get its act together
President Barack Obama on Saturday called on Congress to “get its act together” and pass his American Jobs Act, which he introduced nearly three weeks ago.
“Some Republicans in Congress have said that they agree with certain parts of this jobs bill,” the president said. “If so, it’s time for them to tell me what those proposals are. If they’re opposed to this jobs bill, I’d like to know what exactly they’re against.”
