In his weekly YouTube address Saturday the president-elect announced a massive investment in the nation's infrastructure that he hopes will create (or save) more than two million jobs. Obama wants to improve roads and schools, make public buildings more energy efficient and increase access to the Internet.
"We won't just throw money at the problem," Obama said in his weekly radio address and Internet video.
