President
Obama is calling on Democrats and Republicans to come together and
act on his Congressional “to-do
list,” which will create jobs and help restore middle class security. In
this make-or-break moment for the middle class, these five initiatives have
bipartisan support and will help create an economy that is built to last.
Weekly Wrap Up
Your quick look at this week on WhiteHouse.gov:
Congratulating
the Wildcats: President Obama welcomed the victors of the 2012
NCAA championship - the
University of Kentucky Wildcats -
to the White House to congratulate them, despite his original skepticism that
they’d take the title. “I had them in the championship game. But in the end, I
though, they got all these freshman. These guys are too young,” he said. “But
let’s face it, sometimes talent trumps experience.”
On
the To-Do List: President Obama has put together a To-Do List for
Congress, full of initiatives that have bipartisan support and will help create
jobs and restore middle class security. The items on the list include
eliminating tax incentives to ship jobs overseas and cutting red tape so
responsible homeowners can refinance, among others – you can check the full
list here.
To-Do
List Goes to Albany: On Tuesday, President Obama traveled to
the College of Nanoscale Science and
Engineering’s NanoTech Complex in Albany, New York, where he
laid out his to-do list of actions Congress should take before leaving for
summer recess. The first item on the To-Do Listwill help
spur American manufacturing, an industry that is growing in upstate New York.
“At the very least what we can do right away is stop rewarding companies who
ship jobs overseas and use that money to cover moving expenses for companies
that are moving jobs back here to America,” the President remarked.
“I
think…”: In an interview with ABC News, President Obama said,
“I think same-sex couples should be able
to get married.” His statement came after giving this issue serious
consideration, which involved conversations with his family, friends, neighbors
and people who work with him at the White House.
