Reaction in New Jersey is mixed on President Barack Obama's second press conference since taking office.
Obama told Americans Tuesday it will take time and patience for the economy to improve. Some share the president's viewpoint.
"I have great confidence that things will get better," says Robert Stefanadi, of Barnegat. "I think we're on the right path."
Opinions differ, however, as New Jersey residents try to wrap their brains around the many facets of the economy.
"The Congress doesn't even know what they're approving," says Ernie Coluccio, of Cream Ridge.
Others say they have faith not in politics, but rather in the country.
"I just think it's America itself," says Hamilton's Tom Wilkinson. "We'll recover no matter what happens, despite the people we put into office."
