Senators Want POTUS To Talk Jobs and Business Tonight

Ohio's two U.S. Senators are speaking about what they hope to hear in President Obama's State of the Union address tonight. Democrat Sherrod Brown wants The President to focus on jobs in the manufacturing sector. He says the U.S. lost 5 million manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2010, but has gained back half a million.

Republican Rob Portman hopes The President will be open to policies that help business.
