COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Barack Obama on Tuesday lobbied lawmakers to adopt his nearly $450 billion jobs plan, promising it would help workers in the construction industry and rebuild schools in crumbling condition. Said Obama: “My question to Congress is: ‘What on Earth are we waiting for?’ ”
From a high school in the critical electoral state of Ohio, Obama delivered a fiery speech to plug his plan. In Ohio alone, Obama said, the bill would create jobs for tens of thousands of construction workers.
GOP lawmakers who control the House flatly oppose his plans to pay for his plan by raising taxes on the wealthy.
