Obama returns to Denver to push jobs act
President Obama journeyed to Denver, Colorado on Tuesday, three years after he visited the city to accept his party’s nomination for the White House, and spoke at the 80,000-seat football stadium to excited supporters. This time, the president was in Denver to drum up support for his $450 billion jobs plan. Obama hopes Congress will pass the bill and create jobs for the millions of Americans out of work. Nathan Heffel, reporter from Takeaway affiliate station KUVO in Denver, was at the Obama’s speech yesterday, and talks about the audience’s reaction.
