"Other than dyeing my hair?" President Barack Obama joked. He went on to say that if a problem is easy, then it doesn't reach his desk because it's already been solved.

"But we knew if we didn't do it, you'd lose a million jobs all across the Midwest, including here in Indiana," Mr. Obama said. "So we made that bet, and it worked."
