Reince Priebus - Rarely does the Obama campaign speak the truth about the economy. But a few days ago, they slipped up.
“The economy, you know, will continue to be a challenge as we
continue to fight out this race over the next six months,” Deputy
Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter admitted at a May 12 forum at Harvard University.
Since Team Obama knows that their record on the economy is a losing
issue for them, they are trying to win by distorting Governor Romney’s
record of private sector job creation. They have taken to spewing a
nonstop stream of false attacks against free enterprise.
The tactics are so appalling that they are making even some
Democrats sick. Yesterday on NBC’s Meet the Press, Democrat Mayor of
Newark, Cory Booker, called the campaign’s attacks on Bain Capital
“nauseating.”
“If you look at the totality of Bain Capital's record,” he said, “they've done a lot to support businesses—to grow businesses.”
Now the Obama campaign is probably nauseous seeing their own surrogate expose the campaign’s falsehoods.
It’s bad enough the Obama campaign refuses to talk about their
record on the economy. It’s worse that they’d distract from it with
outright distortions.
Unlike President Obama, Governor Romney has an impressive record.
He built his career in the private sector, so he understands how the
economy works. He saved businesses and helped start new ones, many of
which are household names like Staples and Sports Authority.
He then put that knowledge and leadership experience to good use
when he turned around an Olympics and when he served as governor of
Massachusetts.
In contrast, President Obama has zero experience in the private
sector. As I told Candy Crowley yesterday on CNN’s State of the Union,
“President Obama’s private business experience hasn’t seen the inside of
a lemonade stand.”
And that’s the problem. How can a president understand how private business works if he’s never worked in private business?
After three and a half years of the Obama presidency, we’ve seen
what this lack of experience produces. 23 million Americans are
struggling to find work. Prices at the store are rising, but wages are
shrinking. Government is growing, but opportunity is dwindling. And now,
it is a challenge for many families just to make ends meet.
A president should be in the business of helping the economy
thrive. He shouldn't attack free enterprise. He should promote it, and
that’s exactly what a President Romney would do on Day 1.
I heartily agree Mitt Romney is "nauseating". Romney's career as a vicious job-destroying fiend would be a disaster for our struggling Nation.
ReplyDeleteRomney isn't nearly as nauseating as Obama.
