Obama Sends Jobs Message To College

President Barack Obama took his jobs message to college students Wednesday, urging them to help his administration rally support from Congress.

“I’ve got a homework assignment for you,” Obama said before a large, young audience on North Carolina State University. “I need you to lift your voice.  Make it heard.  You can call, you can email, you can tweet, you can fax.  You can Facebook, you can visit, you can write a letter - when was the last time you did that? Tell your congressperson that the time for partisanship and politics is over.”

At one point the President was greeted by a student yelling “I love you.” The President quipped that if the crowd did love him, then they would help his administration pass the jobs bill.

Obama’s appearance at the University is the latest stop in a series of swing states.
