U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday sought the public's patience with a slowing economy and said training workers for manufacturing jobs despite declines in that sector will help put the economy on a path towards growth. He said the recession didn't happen overnight and won't end that way, either. "It's going to take time," Obama said in his weekly radio and online address. Obama said other steps, such as providing students with a quality education and investing in new jobs in the clean energy sector, will also help the economy grow.
