<\/br>Mayor Richard Daley today applauded President Barack Obama for focusing on the economy in his first State of the Union speech Wednesday night.
<\/br><\/p>\n

"It’s a much more serious economy," Daley said at an event promoting winter tourism in Chicago. "I think the president last night realized that, and finally Washington has realized. The president has always realized that, but I think both parties have to come together in regards to the future of this country."\n<\/p>\n

In his speech, Obama\u00a0warned that the nation<\/a> had developed a "deficit of trust” in
\ngovernment and promised to put the public’s
\ntop concerns — jobs and the economy — at the center of his second year in
\noffice while continuing to press for a health care overhaul and the
\nrest of his stalled agenda.
<\/br>\n<\/p>\n

Daley said today that the federal government must focus on improving the climate for businesses to create jobs.<\/p>\n

"It’s one word — three words — jobs, jobs, jobs. Everybody knows that," Daley said. "How do you create jobs in America? It’s easier to offshore a job than to keep the job in America. Washington has to figure that out. If it’s easier to offshore a job, then what’s the purpose of keeping a job here? That’s the dilemma America has."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
