Obama: People can do their part by working, caring

President Barack Obama says people can do their part during the economic crisis by continuing what they have always done: work hard, look after their families and contribute to their communities.

In a news conference, the president was asked about why he hasn't called for more sacrifice from the American public during the crippling economic downturn.

Obama says he wants people to keep working and caring for each other. He said he wants them to pay attention to the debates happening in Washington about the next budget because he is going to need the support of the American people.
