Saying the economy is “growing stronger,” President Obama issued a
strong warning to Congress on Friday: “Do not slow down the recovery ...
don't muck it up!"
Speaking at a fire house in Arlington, Va. — hours after a jobs report
showed the unemployment rate dropped from 8.5 to 8.3 percent — a fiery
Obama said Washington has to do everything in its power to help the
economy. He urged Congress to pass a payroll tax cut extension without
drama and delay.
“They just need to get it done, [it] shouldn’t be that complicated,”
Obama said. “Now’s not the time for self-inflicted wounds to our
economy. Now’s the time for action. Do not slow down the recovery that
we’re on. Don’t muck it up. Keep it moving in the right direction.”
