Obama touts bringing jobs back to US shores

WASHINGTON (AP) - January 7, 2012 (WPVI) -- President Barack Obama is calling attention to a forum next week with business leaders who have brought jobs back to America.

n the weekly radio and internet address, Obama says the forum will discuss ways business leaders can return more jobs to the country. He says the country is "heading in the right direction. And we're not going to let up."
