CBS News - President Obama continued pushing his jobs bill in battleground states on Wednesday, telling a fired-up crowd of students at North Carolina State University that, "If you love me, you've got to help me pass this bill!"
Mr. Obama, speaking to a crowd of more than 9,000 people in an unairconditioned auditorium, reiterated the main points of his recently-unveiled American Jobs Act, and urged students to help him get it passed through Congress.
"For those of you who did skip class today, I've got a homework assignment for you," he said, "tell your Congress person that the time for gridlock and games is over; the time for action is now."
The president touted a series of proposals in the bill that he said would help America "get back to a place where we're creating good, middle-class jobs again."

Blog author's comments - Obama, if you cared for the people you would resign. You are in way over your head. After listening to the video, this has to be one of the most pathetic things said by an American president.
Obama also said - "If we can get folks to stop worrying so much about their jobs and start worrying a little more about your jobs." To that I must say he appears to be desperately worried about his own job.
The only way the economy will begin to turn around, jobs created and the unemployment numbers drop is when Obama is unemployed and living somewhere other than the White House.
To save our country he has to be removed from office in 2012.
