# 2014-01-04 President Obama's Weekly Address

President Barack Obama's Weekly Address "Time to Pass Bipartisan Legislation to Extend Emergency Unemployment Insurance" from January 4, 2014. Original description of the speech: "In this week's address, President Obama said Congress should act to extend emergency unemployment insurance for more than one million Americans who have lost this vital economic lifeline while looking for a job. Letting emergency unemployment insurance expire not only harms American families, but it is also a drag on the overall economy. The President urges both parties to pass the bipartisan three-month extension under consideration in the Senate so that we can once again focus on expanding opportunities for the middle class and creating jobs for all hardworking Americans."
