AlQa'dah 4, 1432, Oct 2, 2011, SPA - In his weekly radio and Internet address, President Barack Obama said he sent lawmakers his $447 billion jobs plan three weeks ago, “and now I want it back.” He said that every day he receives letters from Americans “who expect Washington to do something about the problems we face.” Many of them express support for his package of tax and spending measures which he announced on Sept. 8, Obama said. Obama said in today's address that the plan is “fully paid for” and would benefit small businesses and help create jobs by keeping teachers employed and putting construction crews on the job rebuilding roads, bridges and schools. It would also include a cut in the payroll tax.
