Obama Nails It on Job Creation!
President Obama absolutely nails the issue of jobs creation in this clip. [see below]
While he’s wrong about the impact of federal government spending and programs, this quote ought to be on a plaque on his desk, or on the dashboard of his golf cart…somewhere that he would see it all of the time. I point it out, not only because he’s right, but because what he says here stands in such stark contrast to everything he’s done in the past 11 months (and much of what his predecessor did as well). Let’s hope that he actually believes this, and that it’s not a bit of clever double-speak designed to comfort those who understand how the engine of prosperity works, as he continues to advance an agenda that bleeds the oil pan, clogs the air filter and drains the battery of that engine.
“While I believe that government has a critical role in creating the conditions for economic growth, ultimately, true economic recovery is only going to come from the private sector…It is only when the private sector starts to reinvest again; only when our businesses start hiring again and people start spending again and families start seeing improvement in their own lives again, that we’re going to have the kind of economy that we want.”
