(Daily Caller) Gov. Mitt Romney quickly dismissed today’s effort by President Barack Obama’s campaign to downplay the bad news in the June jobs-report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at 8.30 a.m.
Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, tweeted out a diversion at 9:01 a.m. that showcased a June 2006 video of Massachusetts Governor Romney saying that a new executive’s policies can’t lower the unemployment rate immediately.
But Romney used his 10:00 a.m. press event to refute the video, telling reporters that Obama’s “policies have not worked… over four years.â€
An unemployment rate that has remained for “forty-one months above 8 percent pretty much defines lack of success,†Romney said in response to a reporter’s shouted question about the video after the press secretary had announced the event was over.
Obviously, when Obama’s had well over 3 years to Do Something it can’t possibly be his fault that the jobs report stinks. And has been stinking. The man takes responsibility for nothing that happens under his watch thanks to his policies, such as they are.
Isn’t it Socialist thinking to believe that GOVERNMENT should create jobs? Teach corporate profits are at all time highs and the stock market is up 50% under Obama.
Ummm john, Teach is not proposing Feds create jobs. And everyone knows Feds can not create jobs. Feds only transfer confiscated monies.
What the Feds can do is to make it easier or more difficult for companies to hire and keep employees.
What the Socialists have been doing over the last decade or so has been to take more and more control away from individual liberties. Our economy is so controlled by governmental forces, that any burp from feds creates big ripples in our economy.
The best thing a true American president could do to revitalize American jobs, would be to severely curtail federal regulatory agencies. Cut red tape and regulations to Carter days. Free up the ability of companies to expand and hire. Give them a reason to spend that saved up money,… right john? Or do you want to confiscate it?
