                   Obama: Congress Obstructs, So I Act Alone

   by VOA News

   President Barack Obama says he will continue to take actions on his own
   as long as congressional Republicans block his economic agenda.

   Obama said in his weekly address that he has already taken action to
   attract new jobs, raise workers' wages, and help students pay off their
   loans.

   The U.S. leader said "we could do so much more as a country" if
   Republicans were less interested in "stacking the deck for those at the
   top" and more interested in "growing the economy for everybody."

   In the Republican address, Louisiana Representative Bill Cassidy pushed
   for growing the U.S. energy, manufacturing and construction industries,
   including approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, to create jobs.
