The recovery is still too fragile to announce that the recession is over.

America is on a path toward economic recovery.

A large part of the credit for this turnaround is due not only to President Barack Obama but also to Ben Bernanke.

Creating jobs is the top priority for Congress on both sides of the aisle and for our country.

The current Administration took office less than eleven months ago. The economy was in the midst of the worst crisis since the Great Depression.
