Obama continues to push jobs plan
- President Obama is continuing to push his jobs plan and has called on Congress to pass it right away.
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama rolled out a new jobs plan Thursday designed to quickly inject $447 billion into the economy through a mix of tax cuts, construction projects and unemployment relief - an ambitious gambit meant to jolt the slumbering economy and answer skeptics who say he's been too complacent about the hardships borne by millions of unemployed.
