Similar Stories to Obama Cites Income Gap To Push Jobs Bill on Bing News

President Barack Obama is using a new report on the income gap between the richest Americans and everyone else to continue pushing for passage of his stalled $447 billion jobs bill.

Senh: There's nothing much here that we haven't already seen in previous articles, but it's a good summary of what has happened with the jobs bill so far. What I'm wondering is if it makes much of a difference for Barack Obama to go out and promote his job plan when Republicans are so opposed to it. People can't vote on this, it's up the lawmakers in congress to pass it.
