I didn’t realize anyone took it.

(Politico) — President Barack Obama sent his $447 billion jobs bill to Congress nearly three weeks ago and, he said Saturday, he wants it back.

“This jobs bill is fully paid for. This jobs bill contains the kinds of proposals that Democrats and Republicans have supported in the past,” Obama said in his weekly address to the nation. “And now I want it back. It is time for Congress to get its act together and pass this jobs bill so I can sign it into law.”

Republicans have said that they agree with some of what’s in the bill, the American Jobs Act, and the president wants to know what those parts of the bill are. He also wants them to say what they’re opposed to.

“Are they against putting teachers and police officers and firefighters back on the job? Are they against hiring construction workers to rebuild our roads and bridges and schools? Are they against giving tax cuts to virtually every worker and small business in America?”
