Obama, Pushing for Jobs Plan, Says US Had Been 'A Little Soft'

President Barack Obama, seeking to rally support for his jobs plan in two states pivotal in next year's election, suggested that the nation needs to regain a competitive edge in technology and education.

What do people expect, that Obama can instantly flick a switch and get unemployment back to pre-recession levels. That's unreasonable. A little bit at a time and eventually, we'll recover from this economic crisis.
