SPRINGFIELD, Va. – Standing at the site of a highway project funded by his economic stimulus plan, President Barack Obama said Wednesday he is committed to exploring all avenues to create jobs.
Obama said his administration is going to keep going until "every single American in this country who's looking for work is going to be able to get the kind of well-paying job that supports their families."
Obama spoke from the top of a large mound of dirt and gravel, the site of a highway construction project in the Virginia suburbs outside Washington. He chose the site of the Fairfax County Parkway Extension project to feature the progress of the stimulus package passed earlier this year.
The project is the state's largest stimulus-funded project. When completed, it will connect both ends of Fairfax County.
While some businesses have credited the stimulus bill with preventing layoffs, the national unemployment rate stands at 9.8 percent. Many economists have said unemployment could continue to rise.
The administration has stopped short of calling for a second economic stimulus package. But with the job picture slow to improve, Obama said his administration is moving forward on different fronts to boost the economy.
"We're going to continue to explore each and every avenue that I can think of that will lead to job creation and economic growth," he said while standing with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and four construction workers wearing hard hats.

Why not get the government the hell out of the way of business, you moron?
Too late. Obeyme is simply a clueless amateur.
Let us not forget the Bush taxes are going to be repealed as well.
Let ACORN run the Department of Labor and all will be well. /s
The only real avenue I know of is the free market, but he isnt looking down that avenue.
Send all illegals back?
Anyone want to take bets as to who the actual person doing work on that crew is?
Cut taxes and regulations.
That would help.
Not 12 highway jobs at a time.
Except for, y'know, taking his foot off the throat of private sector job creation.
Increase the GDP
S-T-I-M-U-L-U-S, Barry. Where are all those touted jobs you claim were created and saved by the STIMULUS?
Liar.
At this point, I think resigning would be the best thing he could do.
I am betting the government czars have had tremendous job growth since he took office.
cut taxes is not in the dems vocabulary
It make it easier for businesses to to operate profitably.
Lower taxes, remove the crazy requirements mandated to start and remain in business. etc.
