In this photo taken Aug. 31, 2011, President Barack Obama speaks in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington and urged Congress to pass a federal highway bill. In his weekly radio Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011, Obama again called for the passage of a transportation bill, and express concern that "political posturing" may stand in the way.
