Carney: Obama Recognizes "There Are Things He Can Do Without Congress And He Will Do Them"

JAY CARNEY, WH Press Secretary: "They don't give a lick about the day and time."



ED HENRY, FOX News: "Why doesn't he give a speech from the oval office tonight saying here's my plan?"



CARNEY: "He wants to speak before Congress because he recognizes that while there are things he can do without Congress, and he will do them, there are actions that need to be taken with Congress that require legislation to grow the economy and create jobs. And he wants to go to Congress, speak directly to members of Congress, and layout his proposals."
