Before heading to Oslo to scoop up his Nobel Peace Prize, President Obama will talk to members of Congress about jobs, jobs, jobs.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will huddle in the Cabinet Room with key lawmakers to outline “next steps for growing the economy and creating jobs.”
Yesterday Obama detailed ways to spend some of the leftover TARP funds to stimulate the economy and create jobs.
He said the money would go to small businesses, for infrastructure investment to improve highways, bridges and airports and a new rebate for homeowners dubbed “cash for caulkers” to reward people who retrofit their homes to be more energy efficient.
Obama’s economic adviser Christina Romer told reporters yesterday that jobs is the constant refrain at the White House.
“The president asks us nearly every day are we doing enough on jobs,” she said.
