Q: BUFFALO -- President Obama had a simple message Thursday for the Republicans who have tried to thwart his economic policies. 
  
 I told you so. 
  
 In a defense of the often unpopular actions his administration has taken to confront the economic crisis, Obama told employees of an expanding manufacturing company here that he was right and his critics were wrong. 
  
 "Today, we are heading in the right direction," Obama said. "Those tough steps we took -- they're working. Despite all the naysayers -- who were predicting failure a year ago -- our economy is growing again." 
  
 Standing in front of heavy equipment in a manufacturing bay at a company that has added workers, Obama said his critics should have to admit that the steps he took -- and they opposed -- ended the recession and have begun to add jobs, if slowly. 
  
 "I knew that if we didn't act boldly and quickly -- if we didn't defy the politics of the moment and do what was necessary -- we would have risked an even greater disaster," he said, calling out the Republican Party as having been "in power when the crisis happened." 
  
 The response from Republicans was swift. They pointed out that White House officials had predicted an unemployment rate of 7.7 percent by now when they were arguing for the president's stimulus package. And they pointed to polls suggesting that the public still does not believe the recovery act has helped them much. 
  
 "Last year, the administration rushed a trillion-dollar stimulus bill through Congress because it said we needed it to create jobs," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said. "Well, more than a year later unemployment is hovering around 10 percent. And taxpayers want their money back." 
  
 Obama's trip to Buffalo highlights one of the central dilemmas for any president presiding over a slow economic recovery: how to balance the good news and the bad news, the continuing misery and the hopeful signs. 
  
 Just days ago, Obama stood in the Rose Garden at the White House to tout the best job numbers in years -- almost 300,000 jobs created in a single month. Flanked by his economic team, the president used the opportunity to remind Americans how far the country had come since the recession began. 
  
 "At the height of the downturn, around the time that I took office, we were losing an average of 750,000 jobs per month," Obama told the people watching his announcement last Friday morning. 
  
 But as he has done every time there is good news, the president quickly made a pivot, acknowledging the frustration undoubtedly felt by the unemployed every time they hear that the economy is improving and that the recession is over. ||||| Obama stopped at the local landmark in Cheektowaga, N.Y. and surprised the customers. The woman giving Obama the once-over was Luann Haley, 45. Sheryl Stolberg of the New York Times, the pool reporter, said Obama "replied by giving her a big hug. ("He gave me a squeeze,'' she said afterward.) She swooned and he said Michelle would be watching on television. "That's allright,'' Ms. Haley said as the cameras rolled."Hi Michelle, eat your heart out." 
  
 President Obama stopped for lunch on an upstate New York swing on Thursday and got something not on the menu at Duff's Famous Wings: a steamy compliment from a female patron who told him, "you're a hottie with a smokin' little body."

 QUOTE OF THE DAY: "You're a hottie with a smokin' little body." 
  
 Yes indeed, some people will say just about anything to get a hug from Barack Obama. Those words were spoken by Luann Haley, 45, to the president, during his unannounced visit to this local landmark. He replied by giving her a big hug. ("He gave me a squeeze,'' she said afterward.) She swooned and he said Michelle would be watching on television. "That's allright,'' Ms. Haley said as the cameras rolled."Hi Michelle, eat your heart out." 
  
 To backtrack, POTUS surprised many of what looked to be about 100 employees and guests when he strode into the restaurant, jacketless. He leaned over the counter; the receptionist Mary DiGiacomo, told him they had a lunch special but he demurred, saying he was in the car. He quietly placed an order. She tried to tell him it would be on the house. "No, I've got to pay,'' he insisted, pulling out his wallet, which sported a $5 bill on top. 
  
 Your pooler asked the obvious: what did he get? "Wings!'' the president declared. "This is the wing capital." 
  
 And so it is. A painted sign on the Duffs wall says: Duff's Famous Wings. Medium is HOT. Medium hot IS VERY HOT. Hot IS VERY VERY HOT.'' 
  
 Mr. Obama ordered his medium, but was told halfway through his meet-and-greet that he needed to get them extra spicy. So he called out to the restaurant staff that he would have five regular, five extra spicey. They cost $10.82. Your pool did not see him pay. 
  
 Ms. Haley was part of a large crowd of Department of Education contractors, who work next door to the restaurant collecting money on federal student loans whose borrowers have defaulted. They saw the Secret Service and figured something was up, so arrived en masse at Duff's.

 New York Times ||||| (CNN) – Unemployment is part of everyday life for millions of Americans and one man finally decided to do something about it. He created a grassroots organization, "I need a freakin' job," to give a voice to the fifteen million unemployed. 
  
 There's also a billboard on display in Buffalo with the same message directed at President Obama, and that's where he'll be today as part of his "White House to Main Street" tour. Jeff Baker, the creator of "I need a freakin' job," joined us on Thursday's American Morning.

Generally speaking, this is not how to address the leader of the free world: "You're a hottie with a smokin' little body." And yet that's exactly what a Buffalo woman told President Obama when he visited a chicken wing joint today, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. The president responded by giving 45-year-old Luann Haley a hug. "Hi Michelle, eat your heart out," she said. On more substantive matters, Obama repeated the pitch that his administration's economic policies were working, reports the Washington Post. "Today, we are heading in the right direction," he said. "Those tough steps we took—they're working. Despite all the naysayers—who were predicting failure a year ago—our economy is growing again." Republicans disagreed, as did the Buffalo billboard with the message, "I need a freakin' job," notes CNN.
