The maker of the blackberry smartphone is again taking a beating from investors. As Dan Karpenchuk reports Canada's Research In Motion lost 20% of its stock value after 2nd quater profit's drop.

President Obama is keeping up the pressure on Congress to quickly pass his $447 billion jobs package. In his weekly adress today, he said it's what's needed to boost economy.

"It will create new jobs. It will cut taxes for every worker and samll businesses in the country. And it will not add to the defict. It will be paid for."

For the republicans, congressman Peter Roskam from Illinois says the way to inrease jobs is to eliminate all the bureaucratic red tape.

"Job creaters should be albe to focus on their work, not on Washington's busy work."

Roskam says the Senate needs to improve the House of Republican initiatives including legislation what would give Congress veto power over certain high-cost regulations.
