Keller @ Large: Tsongas On Jobs, Obama's Vacation
BOSTON (CBS) – President Obama and Congress are on a break right now, but a local congresswoman says lawmakers should instead be back on Capitol Hill, trying to find ways to create jobs and economic growth.
"I did say I thought (Obama) should consider postponing his vacation," Rep. Tsongas told WBZ TV's Jon Keller. "My thought really was that he should call back our congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle, that they work together to craft a job legislation."
