Saying that his policies had "stopped the bleeding" in the job market, President Obama called Saturday on the country to "recommit" to helping the middle class. "This Labor Day, we are reminded that we didn't become the most prosperous country in the world by rewarding greed and recklessness. We did it by rewarding hard work and responsibility. We did it by recognizing that we rise or we fall together as one nation - one people - all of us vested in one another," President Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. "I don't have to tell you that this is a very tough time for our country," President Obama began his address, then claimed credit for having "stopped the bleeding" in the job market that he inherited upon taking office.
