Obama urges Congress to pass legislation to get teachers back to work

On Friday, President Barack Obama issued a statement and answered questions from the press about the economy. One thing he said was Congress had left his American Jobs Act sitting there essentially collecting dust. As the economy has begun to slow it was important they acted on his proposals to help the economy move again, he said. On Saturday, President Obama used his weekly address to discuss that topic in a little more detail and called on Congress to pass legislation that would help put teachers back to work.
