The White House has begun circulating talking points to its allies ahead of the president’s jobs speech scheduled for this evening. Advocates are instructed to stress that the American Jobs Act is based on bipartisan ideas, fully-funded by closing corporate tax loopholes and asking the wealthiest of Americans to pay their full share, and will have an immediate impact on job and economic growth.

The talking points are similar in tone to the stump speech the President has been making throughout August, in which he has sought to make it politically uncomfortable, especially for Republicans, not to take action and provide immediate relief to the American people.
