Obama: More jobs in jobless benefits than Keystone byJoel Gehrke Commentary Staff Writer

President Obama said that he will delay his vacation and keep Congress in session until the passage of his desired payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits extension -- two proposals that Obama said would create more jobs than the Keystone XL pipeline that his administration recently delayed.
