Suggest Obama To Blame For Job Losses
When asked questions about the president’s upcoming speech on jobs and economic growth yesterday, White House Spokesperson Jay Carney claimed that only the most ‘fervent partisan’ would suggest the 8 million plus jobs lost in this recession were lost because of actions Barack Obama took.
Q -- Jay, the question is what is different in this new speech? What is going to be different?
MR. CARNEY: Well, you will see what the President proposes to enhance growth, enhance hiring, and you will judge then what's different about the new ideas that are contained within it as well as ideas that you've heard about. But I can't let the premise go uncommented on when you talk about the amount of job loss in the time since the President took -- was sworn into office. I don't think anybody except the most fervent partisan would suggest that the 8 million jobs lost because of this recession were lost because of actions that this President took. Those jobs were lost within the four months -- in the months prior to his swearing-in, his inauguration, and in the months thereafter.
Blog author's comments - From now on you can refer to me as a "fervent partisan". This is simply one more time Obama has promised to come up with a plan to create jobs. He said the same thing in 2010. The man hasn’t a clue…..nor does he intend to get one.
He only wants to throw more money at the problem. He has already done that which is why the country has such a mountain of debt. He will probably propose Stimulus II for at least $1.6 Trillion. The GOP controlled House will hopefully say no to this.
This is what he wants to happen - this is his plan - so he can tell the voters over and over prior to the election (1) The recession is the fault of the previous administration. (2) If it were not for the GOP controlled House the economy would be in much better shape.
Obama has no other choice. He cannot run on his record of accomplishments. He has none. He has been a complete disaster.
