From the Yahoo Newsroom:
The group also has produced this video:"I need a freakin' job." That's the message President Obama saw as he arrived in Buffalo, N.Y., this afternoon for an event talking up the administration's success in creating new jobs. He also pitched Congress on approving a $30 billion credit for small-business growth.
Yet critics say Obama has been focusing his recovery efforts too narrowly and hasn't done enough to help people find work. After all, the latest job figures show 9.9 percent of the country still out of work. That inspired a group of unemployed Buffalo residents — who also have a website called INAFJ.org — to appeal to the president in the form of a billboard along the route his motorcade took into town.
The White House just announced that the President will travel to Youngstown, Ohio next week where unemployment hit 15.1% last month, the highest rate in 15 years. I expect his advance team will be scouring the landscape for a more photo-hospitable motorcade route.
