President Barack Obama is set to deliver a highly-anticipated speech to a joint session of Congress on his plan to create jobs.
The speech, which will begin at 7 PM ET, will be Obama's moment to lay out his plan to kickstart a stagnating economy before the 2012 election cycle kicks into high gear. Obama's poll numbers have suffered with the economy's recent volatility.
"The people of this country work hard to meet their responsibilities. The question tonight is whether we'll meet ours," Obama will say in his speech. "The question is whether, in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy; whether we can restore some of the fairness and security that has defined this nation since our beginning."
