Rose Garden | featured news

President Obama held up a newly printed copy of his $447 billion American Jobs Bill today at the White House and demanded that Congress "immediately" pass it "to put people back to work." "No games, no politics, no delays," Obama said during a Rose Garden ceremony featuring a variety of workers he said would benefit from the legislation. "I'm sending this bill to Congress today, and they ought to pass it immediately."

President Barack Obama will take to the Rose Garden on Monday to make a pitch for his jobs creation plan and announce he is sending it to Congress later that evening, the White House said.

It was a star-studded night -- and some barefoot dancing -- in the Rose Garden on Thursday.

On the cusp of a key legislative push, President Barack Obama filled the Rose Garden with doctors today to tout his health care overhaul, telling them "nobody has more credibility with the American people on this issue than you do."
