congress. members of the house and the senate. they have gathered to hear the president of the united states deliver a major speech on job creation. i m wolf blitzer in washington. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i can t overemphasize how important potentially this speech for the president could be, in the only for his political future but much more importantly for the american people because this country right now faces enormous economic problems. the unemployment rate right now in the united states, 9.1%. 14 million americans unemployed. millions more underemployed, and millions more who are simply have simply given up hope of finding a job, and beyond all of that, there are millions of americans who are deeply, deeply worried right now about losing their jobs. the president is going to have to inspire them. he s going to have to show that he can lead this country out of this economic this economic crisis that s unfolding i
