President Barack Obama will highlight portions of his jobs plan that encourage the hiring of unemployed veterans when he visits Langley Air Force Base in Hampton Wednesday during the final leg of his three-day bus tour through Virginia and North Carolina.
White House officials said Sunday that during the president's tour of two key Southern states in his reelection bid, he will call on Congress to start passing parts of his American Jobs Act this week starting with provisions which create jobs for teachers, police officers, fire fighters and veterans.
"He'll discuss the importance of job creation and putting our brave men and women who return from battlefields back to work and into good paying jobs," said Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest in a conference call with reporters.
First Lady Michelle Obama will join the president at Langley to help make the push to gain public support for the American Jobs Act. She will announce "a major private sector initiative to hire veterans and military spouses" as part of her Joining Forces Initiative, Earnest said.

The president's visit to Langley Air Force Base is closed to the public.

They put their lives on the line for this country, we can’t kick them in the teeth just because they come home. It’s obvious that their CIC could care less about them.
Talk is cheap
Once a whore, always a whore!
Cool photo
While he fights like hell to dump their retirement and health care benefits.
“The boy ALWAYS turns to the military when he runs out of ideas.”
That sissified coward doesn’t have guts enough to be a pimple on a soldier’s ass. What a worthless punk.
Most of the rest of the bill is a turd sandwich.
Zer0 is thee dumbest president ever. He guts the military, puts gays in, fires one of our best commanders and restricts tactics. So he throws them a bone.
