Romney Calls Dismal Jobs Report a ‘Harsh Indictment’ of Obama Policies

The dismal jobs report released Friday has driven the news of the day, revealing a rise in the unemployment rate to 8.2 percent and only 69,000 jobs created by U.S. Employers in May, the fewest in a year. The findings come us a bitter pill for the Obama campaign which has had some difficulty in messaging over the last few weeks, and now will face increased scrutiny from Republicans and the media at large, questioning whether this administration is capable of stabilizing the economy. Appearing on CNBC Friday morning, President Obama’s presumptive general election challenger Mitt Romney said the report shows  a “harsh indictment” of the Obama administration’s policies and ability to handle the economy.

“We’ve had 40 straight months with unemployment over 8 percent. Forty straight months. And as you recall, from the beginning of the Obama’s administration, they indicated that unemployment would be kept below 8 percent for this entire period,” said Romney. “Their policies have not worked, and in many respect, their policies have made it harder for the economy to recover.

“I think that is one of the reasons why people are looking for a new direction.”

Romney went on to criticize President Obama for not focussing more energy on jobs and restoring economic certainty when first taking office, instead focusing on his “legacy” and attempting something “historic” with Obamacare.

When asked about the fiscal crisis in Europe and other global economic concerns affecting the U.S., Romney said the best thing we can do is make the American economy as “robust as possible” by moving away from the policies of the Obama administration which have made investors less likely to want to invest in America.

When asked about attacks from the Obama campaign, Romney defended his record at Bain Capital, citing recent support of the company from former President Bill Clinton.

“I was happy to see President Clinton make a similar statement and called my record superb,” Romney said. “I certainly believe it’s a record that shows I understand how the economy works at the level of job creators.”

      In the local paper yesterday here in S. Oklahoma our county’s unemployment for April dropped from 3.7 to 3.5% and the states is uner 6%. Our Home Depot, Solo Cup Co. and Wal-Mart have permanent signs up – Now Hireing. That 3.5% don’t want a job. Our next door neighbors son told me he loves un-employment checks. He works on the side for cash and just bought a new Ford 4X4 pickup. As far as Romney picking Rubio, it will cinch Flordia for him and most Latinos have already jumped ship because of the way this country has treated Zimmerman. First time in my 65 Yrs. I have seen wanted posters outside of the post Office. Holder and Obama forgot the Hate Crime Law that Polisie and Harry passed in his first 2 years. The Hate Crime Law needs to be enforced and the first thing in 2013 we need a new head of the DOJ that is blind to race or color the way it was in 2008.

    I loved hearing Bill Clinton speak highly of Mitt Romney’s successes in business. He said he had a sterling reputation in making money and business. This man will definitely help USA to restoration. BUT Obama PLANS TO and WILL make executive decisions and orders if he thinks he’s winning or losing to do serious harm to our nation. He’s going to do it either way because he hates USA and he hates AMERICANS. IF Romney is elected, it‘s going to be hard for a while to throw out Obama’s executive decisions right away……but the American workers (not the takers) are strong people and hard workers and even if Gov gets out of their way, they will recover! SO I pray you will vote for Romney and get this government out of our way so USA can be restored or begin to be restored at the very least.

      Yes, Clinton did compliment Romney. Now really, most of Bain Capital was good and productive, and if you look at some of the companies who made it, they are huge. The ones who didn’t make it, bit the dust as many businesses have done that weren’t worth saving. Hey, it happens.

      Then look at everything Obama has touched. How many of those companies made it? Part of our horrible economy is due to Obama throwing massive amounts of money to companies that were already going bankrupt, and he had the gall to keep pumping the country’s money into losing businesses and the result: we’ve all lost including the billions he threw away on unsound business deals.

      So, if Bain lost some, they saved many, Obama can’t say that. He’s lost most of it, putting our country in depression, people unemployed and can’t even find decent paying jobs, because of him.

      The man never had a job, knows nothing, can’t do diddle, spent his youth as a loser with blow and pot and who knows? His only real job was community organizer and that sounded like unionizing a rabble raising bunch of people who’d fall for anything, and did. Are they better off? I think not.

      Bush, during his last year in office, went on sabatical from his office. The gentleman who was given the leadership of the SEC because he was passed over for the VP position (a neighbor of mine) was not knowledgeable in the SEC (a political appointment). I remember asking how those loans could possibly work (110% loans with pennies down to familys that didn’t really have to qualify) but all I got was a response of “go away”, because new brokers that spoke foreign languages were making upwards of $25K a month in commissions and another close friend who ran those loan centers was making even more. Greed was rampant. NoBama was left with a spiral he had no control over. But…when he came into office he played lip service to this catastrophic event and went off on his personal agenda, totally ignoring what was happening to the country financially. Almost 4 years later he has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. QE1, QE@, QE Lite, etc. had 1 purpose and 1 purpose only. That was to save the FED from collapse (A private company that controls the value of the USD) and then the Prime Traders of US Bonds. (e.g., JPM, Creditte-Suisse, etc.) The average American has been completely ignored by NoBama besides just throwing token entitlements at them. His religion is the STATE. The middle class is eroding at quite a pace. If this continues it‘s game over with the what’s happening in Europe. NoBana re-elect will devastate this country.

      These number are not factual, what a farce. obama quit coming here and posting more lies!!! The fact is most jobs obama purportedly “created” were the same jobs just renamed, still held the same employee no one new was hired. Like at a school cafeteria, thousands of cafeteria positions are classified as “green jobs” under obama. Did they actually hire new people, no, they made workers scrape plates into a barrel so the food could be used in a compost. So obama claims he made those new jobs. There was no new jobs, just a reclassification. Janitors, recycling paper, new jobs, although no one was hired or fired. It’s all just Hocus Pocus. We are gonna have to wait until Romney gets sworn in to find out what shape our government is REALLY in, and then start booting out all his leeches and get this country back on track. I even think Glenn did a segment on this where they just renamed the jobs as “green jobs”.

      It takes 150K jobs added per month to keep the unemployment rate from rising. According to your numbers, this only happened 7 out of the last 12 months. That means the rate was held steady or reduced only 58% of the last year. Hardly what I would call a recovery. Especially since this is raw data an not seasonally adjusted. Further, comparing these numbers to the final year of Bush is irrelevant. Bush will not be on the ballot this year. You need to fins another straw man. Obama himself said that if he couldn’t fix the economy in three years, he didn’t deserve a second term. We should hold him to that.

As for the Bush numbers you should remember that the DemocRATs held both houses for the last 2 years. The months of Oct. Nov. Dec. and Jan. was when businesses made the decision to cut back because Obama was on the way and they figured that it was only going to get worse.

    Listen closely to Romney here. He is a big government progressive. He really thinks that government creates jobs! The best thing the government can do is to get out of the way, get rid of regulations that are choking businesses and let the FREE MARKET do it’s job! Government, at best. can create temporary jobs. It was never designed to be a business and that is what they are telling you the government should be. The only way government can create jobs is by making the government larger. How large do you want the government to be? Big enough to control every aspect of your life? We are talking about the corrupt corporations that Glenn used to warn us about.

      OK, I have followed WCP and his comments for some time. He is either extremely biased against Romney for his religion, or he is a Obamaton posing as a RP supporter. No one with half a brain could be making the ridiculous statements that come from him. He would rather submit the nation to 4 more years of destuction to satisfy his hubris and pride by supporting a ‘3rd candidate’ (one who said himself he wouldn’t run as such), than recognize the best chance we have to start back on the road to recovery rests in Romney.

      I’m pretty sure he is an Obamaton since his comments are mostly irrational. Notice how he not only states his view(supposedly), but he encourages all others to do the same. He is obviously pushing for another 4 years of Obama–in fact, he has said just this. So, rather than give the best viable conservative candidate a chance to git rid of Obama, and get us back on the right track, he would continue spouting lunacies and presenting opinions as fact.

      @kaydeebeau–you really hit the nail on the head with your comments. WCP doesn’t want freedom, he wants to force all to his opinion.

But the government does create the ENVIRONMENT that encourages job growth and business through regulations, tax policies, etc. We need a pro-growth President. Obama has not encouraged growth.

I am no longer just a party guy going along with the establishment. I am not a sheeple. I post about getting back to the Constitution and giving the people more liberty constantly. Obama on the Constitution: “The Constitution is full of negative liberties.” Seems a little bit opposite to me. I talk about freeing up the free market and needing the free market to do its job. GW Bush on the free market: “We need to leave the free market in order to save it.” Really? Progressive thinking.
      I have been a registered Republican for 36 years, but I do have Libertarian leanings.
      “If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.” – Ronald Reagan

      Quit listening to the media, they are either incompetent, or they are just flat out lying. They all jumped on the band wagon saying Romney has clinched the nomination after Texas. However, the true delegate count is: Romney 627, Paul 186, Santorum 146 and Gingrich 66. I guarantee you that 1/3 of the delegates for Romney, in these true numbers, are Paul supporters. I believe that Paul can win in Tampa. We are studying the federal law that trumps state law in binding delegates. So far, it looks like no party or state law can force the binding of delegates. It seems to me that we are heading for a brokered convention. This is my take and I am sticking to that take. I believe this convention is going to make the history books, cause changes to the way we do elections, or, possibly lead to repealing or changing an amendment to the Civil Rights Law. Whatever takes place, it will be very interseting to be a part of it. If you are not going to be in Tampa, DVR the convention.

      wcp–

      Thanks for the reply. But, here’s the thing: your commentary, and that of others, if followed, would garantee another 4 years of Obama and the further destruction of this country. I can only believe you understand this but yet continue to persue that course. This doesn’t sound like someone who is fighting against the progressive left. Your words may say one thing but your actions would result in another. I’ll give you a pass until the convention since you still think RP will be the eventual nominee. But after that, we’ll see.

      Listen, I’m not saying Romney is the perfect candidate but he is not another Obama and he will at least start us back on the right track. Eighty + years of progressive manipulation cannot be undone in one term, or even two terms, but we can start now with the person that has the best chance of getting Obama out. The other key to this is republican majorities in the house and senate. Without that no conservative president will be able to effect much change and if Obama did happen to win a republican house/senate could stop a lot of the damage he would do. If you can’t support Romney at least put your efforts into that.

      By the way, I didn’t call you a religious bigot. I called you an Obamaton.

      Paul has already won. We have been gathering delegate spots like mad. We will have over 1144 Ron Paul supporters in Tampa as delegates. The little known federal law, and just for those who have not studied law like myself, gives delegates, or any American, regardless of their political position, the right to vote their conscience.

      No person, whether acting under color of law or otherwise, shall intimidate, threaten, coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories or possessions, at any general, special, or primary election held solely or in part for the purpose of selecting or electing any such candidate.”

      The way it is worded is important in legalese language. This says nobody, but nobody even under the color of law (RNC rules, State Law)…can attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of…causing such other person to vote for, or not vote for any candidate for President…at any…Primary election…for the purpose of selecting…any such candidate.

      OK West I’ll ask this question again….so you are saying that the delegates you have gathered are going to vote the way they want rather than the way the citizens whose votes the delegates are supposed to brepresent ecause the aPaulogists know better than the voters what is right for the country?

      So when I went to the polls and cast my vote, an aPaulogist is going to decide that my vote as well as the majority of the voters in the primary in my State don’t really count (I am in TN so the delegates are supposed to go to Santorum btw) because we are just incapable of making our own decisions and only an aPaulogist can really know the right course?

      So an aPaulogist is going to “force us to understand” what is best? This represents “liberty” how exactly?

      How is this any different than what leftists do all the time? How is this so called plan honorable or ethical?

      For me, the aPaulogist rants such as your constant posting of this grand plan really highlights why Dr. Paul is definitely the wrong choice – his followers can’t be trusted and have no honor or integrity

      Kaydee, I did not write the laws. I only read and interpret them. The real issue here is this, the founders wanted a system that would propel a candidate, no matter what his financisl situation was, to the forefront of the elections, if that candidate could get support from a movement. If you look at the difference between Romney and Paul on this issue, you can see that Paul has a movement of fervent loyal supporters showing up in droves. Romney cannot get his base excited enough to get them working for him, which actually shows a disconnect between Romney and his supposed base. We have seen this through the entire primary season so far, with Paul ammassing huge crowds at his rallies and Romney only being able to bring in handfuls of people to his events. Disconnect. This is why the process is set up the way it is. It was reiterated in the 1971 amendment to the Civil Rights Act, where it is very clear that nobody, even under the color of law, can force any citizen in any primary election to vote for or not vote for any candidate for POTUS. I am sorry that a federal law says this, and federal law trumps state law. I did not write it. Most people, anymore, just sit around and listen to the news tell them who to vote for, then they just blindly vote. That is not doing what is best for our country. You can think whatever you want to think about us, but we are playing by the rules and law, which is more than I can say about the RNC.

You are quick to talk badly about Paul supporters following rules and laws, just because you do not like the law, but you say nothing bad about all the rule and law breaking the establishment GOP has done through the entire election so far. Does this mean thaat you believe the GOP and RNC are above the law? If that is what you think, you are 3/4 of the way to serfdom yourself. We Paul supporters will not violate the law, we are true believers in the rule of law. You, on the other hand, seem to be for ignoring the rule of law and doing things the way a private organization proposes that is against federal law, just because they say, this is the way we have always done it. Well, I say it is time to start following the law and becoming law abiding citizens.

      Kaydee, I know I said one more thing above, but there is another thing I want to point out. We are fighting to ensure that Obama is a one term President by following the law. I guarantee you that with the way the GOP has treated Paul supporters, they will not vote for Romney. The youth that helped Obama get elected, will not vote for Romney, they will either write Pauls name in, vote for Johnson or stay home. I live in one of the most liberal states in the union and I talk to Dems everyday. I have been in heated discussions with Obama supporters that are going to vote for Obama no matter what, and there are more than you might imagine. There are also a lot who say they would pull the lever for Paul (quite a few wrote Pauls name in on the Dem primary ballot) but they ALL say that Romney scares them and they will not vote for him. They will do like all of you and hold their nose, but they will hold their nose for Obama. If you do the math, Romney does not have a snowballs chance in heII to win against Obama in this scenario. Paul would bring all these votes to the table, and then we count on all the “anyone but Obama crowd” which is all of you. Paul would win by a landslide. So we ARE for the most electable no matter what Fox News says.

      @ West – long commentary not to address or answer a single one of my questions.

      Perhaps if I post them again for the 76th time someone may finally get to the point of my question???

      Delegates are supposed to represent the voters of their states – aPaulogists are ignoring the will of the voters and going out on their own “know better than others” leftist type attitude.

      So I’ll add yet more questions to those still to be answered.

      So lets say this little scheme plays out, Paul is elected – then what?

      What is the grand plan to avoid chaos while dismantling the behemoth of the Fed Gov’t? Does now Pres Paul just say poof and on Jan 21, 2013 we have instant aPaulogist utopia?

      While Dr Paul and his rabid fans may have noble ideas – plans for practical mplementation and follow through are as non-existant as a leftists “plan: and when you toss in the overthrow of the voters at the convention against the will of the people – I say there is no measurable difference at all.

      For all the talk of opposing tyranny and promoting liberty, the delegate plan reeks of tyranny and I do not like the taste of it.

      If Dr Paul is so popular, why doesn’t that popularity translate at the voting booth?

    Until the conservative Americans comes together and realize both sides have been fisting us, we are not going to solve this problem.

    Ask yourself this Romney supporters.

    1. Why does Romney’s budget not cut current Obama spending levels? Isnt that a endorsement of Obama and Bush’s spending?

    2. Why are we still in Afghanistan and have committed to them for another decade? A place where they are wanting to kill our soldiers for accidentally burning Korans, we lose men there weekly, and the government came out and said if we went to war with Pakistan they would side with Pakistan.

    3. Does really no one care about the NDAA? Both Romney and Obama support it. Clowns like Graham, Rubio, and West pushed for it. The way it was worded allows for the absolute destruction of the 1st and 5th Amendments. How can you people be so blind not to see both sides are working together to box us in.

    4. Romney has supported gun control, tax increases, abortion, and global warming. The only reason he even bothers to say he isnt for those things is to try and get more votes. We cannot be this dumb as a nation to fall for this.

The world is contracting, global debt is sucking the life out of everything, the fiat money system is corrupt and out of control. Top it off, the Financial Stability and Oversight Council just agreed to put taxpayers on the hook for derivative clearing houses and big brokerage firm for credit default losses. There is estimated to be over $1 QUADRILLION in CDS contracts floating about the financial market these days. Besides, who are some of the biggest contributers to Romney? Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc, etc, etc. Think anything will change?

    The world has built economies on lies and the deceptions that consumption and cheap debt = wealth. The jobs are gone because the amount of personal and government debt has reached its limit. Europe, on of our largest trading blocks is on the verge of collapse. We all fell for the idea that the US and industrialized countries were moving into the “service” economy and we no longer needed production of goods and savings. If people think that the jobs will come back just because we have a new president they are fooling themselves. People had better prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

    And you simpleton libs are a sickening lot thinking raising taxes will get us out of this mess,there isn’t enough currency in the world to pay for the rapers of the constitution and their wasteful spending of our currency.

      Thank You!!!! I’ve had it with hearing that the government creates jobs from both sides of our one-party system. The government only takes our money and our freedoms.

      When the government makes a law such as requiring golf carts to have seat belts,there is a job for a design engineer, job for a manufacturer, a job for an installer and the higher priced golf cart means a higher commission for the salesman giving him more disposable income, which creates jobs for the people who make and sell whatever he purchases with that new disposable income.

      That is only one way the government creates jobs. There are many others.

      @ MEE…you fail to factor in the 950 Gov’t agencies that are created to oversee compliance with all the laws and the 500,000 government bureaucrats to work there whose salaries are paid by – say it with me – tax payers.

      You cannot really be this vacuous – you have to be putting on an act here

      950 additional government agencies and half a million additional government employees.

      I was going to say you can’t be more ridiculous, but that would be rude.

      MARYBETH:
      Yeah, you‘re kinda’ right. Sort of like when labor stipulates you need a Journeyman electrician to change a light bulb, plus a ladder technician, plus an observer to ensure safety. I also appreciate the elevator operators in major municipalities that have one function, push the elevator floor button for contractors….now that’s a good gig. That creates jobs too…AND keeps us competitive!!! Ha. Are you from a third world country or just really ingunt?

      Labor contracts are a negotiation between an employer and employees on wages and working conditions.

      A negotiation. An agreement between management and labor.

      The government has nothing to do with them.

      Govenments can create jobs in all sorts of ways.

      Come back to the real world Keys. Abandon your false Beckian mythology.

      Marybeth…

      If “The government has nothing to do with them (org labor)” then just why is it the 95% of all campaign donations made on behalf of unions are directed to Democrats? If the Government had no influence, was impartial and had zero impact on a relationship that was solely between an employee and their employer, why would they care one iota? No BS, no spin about freedom of choice or preference…answer the question.

      @barber

      I will try to go more in depth for him.

      1. Romney’s budget doesnt cut current spending levels. It only cuts future increases. So to put it in plain English he basically endorses Obama’s spending. We are 16 trillion in debt, with first year of the next presidency of either Obama or Romney we have debt at over 17 trillion, the next year 18 trillion, the next year if I am not mistaken it goes to roughly 20 trillion, then to 21 in the four year. Yes Romney has a ten year plan to cut debt, but we will not make it that long.

      2. Both funded by the same big banks, both support leaving the FED alone, both support Ben Bernanke. Yes yes, I know that Romney just recently said he would change Bernanke but that is only to try and act like he is anti FED. Bernanke hasnt done anything different recently that he didnt do in the past. Its the same guy, just now Romney needs the anti FED vote.

      3. Both Obama and Romney support the Patriot Act and the NDAA.

      4. Both are pro bailouts.

      5. Both want us to continue to be in the UN ( the UN is one of the most anti Israel organizations in the world). Both want us to continue to be the policemen of the world.

      6. Both have/are pro choice. Romney needs conservative votes he says he isnt pro choice anymore. What a joke.

      7. Both are pro gun control. A Romney quote “ I believe protect us and provide for our safety”.

      Yep on issues that matter it does seem they are the same.

      Wow, I guess if ignorance is bliss you must be a really happy guy. There is NO WAY in the world Romney = Obama. His personal, progessional and government service record is proof he will be like Obama. For all those reading that have a brain and a desire for truth check out the following link.

      Naive at best…likely malicious.
      I will say all candidates have some things in common, but POTUS and his campaign have already made it perfectly clear the two candidates are not the same:
      . War one women
      . Bailouts (Romney was clear on this)
      . Views on capitalism (Bain vs…?
      . ACA should be repealed (Romney can be pushed to a Federalist mentality here)
      . Contrasts of associates and who Romney will surround himself with
      . Choice
      . Romney will work the Ryan plan
      . On gun control:”Let me speak very directly and candidly about where I stand. I support the Second Amendment as one of the most basic and fundamental rights of every American. It’s essential to our functioning as a free society, as are all the liberties enumerated in the Bill of Rights…” Mitt Romney, Sept 21, 2007

      Yep, on the important issues looks like night and day…

      It is so hard to talk to people who have fallen for progressive smooth talk. You can lean towards progressive candidates if you want, I on the other hand will always lean towards Liberty minded candidates. You can continue to be duped by the progressive lying candidates that tell you what you want to hear in order to get your vote, I will continue to go with the candidate that tells the truth all the time. You have your principles, and I have mine.

      That…coming from someone comfortable misrepresenting the facts. Principles?…the principled attack won’t work pal…the left uses it as their mainstay and they are not faring well; much like the racist thing it has been overplayed and diluted. I get my info from no less that 30+ sources daily and have found none of the Paul links very credible. And if you are serious, you may want to find a venue that extends beyond this limited, narrow minded “progressive audience.” Not a lot of shoppers here…
