Obama Hits Republican States in Post-Speech Highlights Tour

President Barack Obamatouted Nebraska’s unemployment rate of less than 3 percent as evidence that America’s economy has rebounded under his leadership as he kicked off his post-State-of-the-Union address tour and the final year of his presidency.

"No one ever benefited by betting against America," Obama told a crowd of about 11,000 people Wednesday at an arena at the University of Nebraska, borrowing a line from Omaha’s most famous resident, billionaire investor and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. chairman Warren Buffett.
