U.S. President Barack Obama talks about his proposed job creation bill
President Barack Obama speaks about his jobs plan and the economy at Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School in Columbus, Ohio. Obama praises the school and says that there are many schools in the U.S. which could benefit from the type of renovation the bill outlines and that many construction workers would be put back to work if the bill passes. He urges Americans to tell their members of Congress to pass his "American jobs plan", saying that "the time for gridlock and games is over and the time for action is now." Obama declares that the bill, if passed, will create jobs for returning veterans, provide tax cuts for working people, and stimulate the economy. The crowd chants "pass this bill" at several intervals.
