One of the ugly things that's going to happen is the torrent of liberal spin and personal attacks that's going to be unleashed... They won't be trying to solve the problem, just convince people that (a) it's not their fault and (b) the other side is the devil
True. I hate to say this, I really do, but I expect the race card to be amped up. It's about all they have left. Obama has done nothing of substance. I have already heard Matthews say that more important than electing a black man, is re-electing him for a second term. Some non-sense about giving the guy a fair shot. One term just isn't enough. They're very afraid that the sentiment will be, now and forever, we tried a black guy and we ain't going back. The very people who say race shouldn't be an issue will make it an issue.
On Jobs, Obama Is Running Away From Reality by Chairman Reince Priebus, RedState.com Todayâs extremely troubling jobs report is yet another sad reminder that President Obamaâs policies simply are not workingâand that we need a president who understands the economy. Last night on CNN former President Bill Clinton praised Mitt Romneyâs âsterlingâ career in the private sector. This morning Steny Hoyer echoed that sentiment, underscoring the importance of the private sector in growing our economy. While Mitt Romneyâs sterling record demonstrates that he knows what it takes to fix our economy, todayâs jobs report shows that President Obamaâs record is irreparably tarnished. In short, President Obama has failed to live up to the promise of his candidacy. In 2009, he and his team promised an unemployment rate below 6 percent by 2012. Weâre far from it. And now, President Obama talks about the economy as though he has not been president for the last three years. âIt is absolutely critical,â he said Wednesday, to make sure the economy is âmoving full speed ahead.â Yes, it is. But Obama has spent the last three years holding us back. The president yells, âForward!â even as he moves backward. For the weak economy, we can thank Obamaâs weak leadership. Instead of pursuing policies that would help job creators put Americans back to work, heâs burdened them with ObamaCare, regulations, and continued threats of higher taxes. But donât take my word for it. Listen to former Congressman Artur Davis, a 2008 Obama National Co-Chair who this week left the Democrat Party: âI have regularly criticized an agenda that would punish businesses and job creators with more taxes just as they are trying to thrive again.â Not only has President Obama presided over a devastating economy, but he also refuses to hold himself accountable for it. In 2009, however, he was singing a different tune. If he didnât have the economy fixed âin three years,â he promised, his presidency would be a âone-term proposition.â Itâs been three years, but instead of accepting responsibility, the president casts blame elsewhereâATMs, earthquakes, airport kiosks, and âbad luck,â among other scapegoats. In May, he issued Congress a âto-do list,â his latest attempt to distract from his own incomplete task: job creation. And today, the president is in Minnesota to talk about the post-it size list. While he will go to the trouble of traveling to Minnesota to speak about this political prop, he apparently has not gone to the trouble of looping in members of his own party on Capitol Hill. Democrat Senators Mary Landrieu, Bob Casey, and Carl Levin admitted to Roll Call they donât even know whatâs on it. If he has not taken the time to inform his friends at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, President Obama must not be too serious about his little list. No, heâs more concerned about another to-do list: his list of campaign fundraisers. Today, he will attend six of them. He has already attended far more fundraisers for his re-election than his predecessors, 147 in total. Even as he passes the buck, Obama is happy to rake in the bucks. The promises for his first term ignored, heâs thinking exclusively about a second term. But unemployed Americans are still worried about the present. As todayâs jobs report makes clear, far too many Americans are out of work, without enough work, or giving up on looking for work altogether. President Obama is working hard to keep his job. Itâs just a shame heâs not working as hard to ensure unemployed Americans can find jobs for themselves.
