together, and the idea was -- the idea was that, you know, if our families were of good character and had good values and you were willing to work hard then you could find a job that paid a decent wage. and eventually saving up you could own a home, and you knew that you wouldn't go bankrupt when you got sick because you had some health insurance, and maybe you took a vacation every once in a while, and it wasn't necessarily some fancy vacation at some fancy resort. the best vacation i had when i was a kid was we -- my grandmother and my mom and my sister, we traveled around the country on greyhound buses and on trains and we stayed at howard johnsons, and you know, i was 11, and so if there was any kind of swimming pool it

didn't matter how big it was, right, you'd spend the whole day there and then you know, you were real excited to go to where the vending machine was and the ice machine and get the ice, and that was like a big deal. >> the president here talking about family, talking about money, but not specifically at this point addressing the jobs report numbers, although mitt romney was addressing those numbers pretty quickly about an hour ago he was live on air saying that the jobs numbers are unacceptably high and that the president must take responsibility for failed policy. he also said that the job numbers show a new president is needed that's" the kick in the gut" has got to end. election now exactly four months away. coming up at 8:15 the impact of the jobs report on the stock market as well. a wildfire in redding has forced the evacuation of 80
