President Obama visited Ohio earlier today, Friday, January 22nd, and told an enthusiastic crowd in Elyria that, he will not stop fighting for jobs and healthcare for all Americans.
nytimes.com: Conceding his health care overhaul had run into “a little bit of a buzz saw,’’ President Obama vowed on Friday to keep fighting for legislation that will “hold the insurance industry accountable” and “to bring more stability and security to folks who are in our health care system.’’
Mr. Obama came to this Cleveland suburb — where unemployment has hit 10.9 percent, according to figures released Friday — to defend his record and spread the word that his White House is focused on economic recovery and job growth. But with his health care bill in disarray in the wake of the recent Republican Senate victory in Massachusetts, Mr. Obama also sought to send a message that he is not giving up on a health overhaul, his top domestic priority.
