Obama: Give ‘the American people a win’ by passing jobs act

By Joshua Altman - 09/13/11 03:11 PM ET

Bringing his American Jobs Act tour to an Ohio audience Tuesday, President Obama accused Republicans of playing politics with American jobs.

“This isn’t about giving me a win, this isn’t about giving Democrats or Republicans a win, it's about giving the American people a win,” he said.

Obama spoke near House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) home district to in an effort to get Congress to “pass this bill,” which he claims will spur job creation.
