Romney: Obama Would Kill Millions of Jobs

In the final days of the campaign, John McCain needs to emphasize that Barack Obama would kill millions of jobs, Mitt Romney tells Newsmax.

“It’s too late in the process to be unveiling new initiatives,” Romney says. “Instead, you focus on the consequences of an Obama presidency and the benefits of a McCain presidency. And frankly, in my lifetime, I don’t recall a more anti-job program than Barack Obama’s.”

McCain’s program creates jobs, Romney says, while Obama’s shrinks them.

“My own view is that’s the message in the last days. Boil it down in a way that people understand,” Romney says. “You don’t have to go through all the differences and the details. The headline is: Barack Obama will kill millions of jobs in America; John McCain will create millions of jobs in America.”

While the economic crisis has hurt McCain’s chances, “What caused this downturn was profligate borrowing in the mortgage market,” Romney observes. “And who’s been pushing that? Democrats and a lot of Republicans. And then, when it came to regulate that borrowing, Republicans wanted to regulate it and reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Democrats said no, just hand out the money. That’s what caused this downturn.”

In fact, “Republican Senator John Sununu of New Hampshire authored a bill to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; Democrats blocked it,” Romney says. “This is Barney Frank trying to do the old two-step. This is the guy that led the charge to hand out mortgage money to people who couldn’t afford to pay. And it’s caused the crisis that we’re seeing. It’s just easy to say blame George Bush, and that’s what the Democrats are doing.”

Obama’s program would kill jobs because it would raise taxes on companies and entrepreneurships that create jobs, Romney says.

In addition, “Putting a penalty on employers that don’t provide a government-approved healthcare program kills jobs,” he says. “The card check program to unionize small business kills a lot of jobs, permanently. And John McCain’s program creates jobs.


"He lowers taxes on employers to create incentives to add jobs. He puts in place a healthcare plan that lets individuals buy their own insurance and keeps the burden off employers. And he invests in truly becoming energy independent, which lowers our energy prices and makes it more attractive to do business in this country.”

Romney has been campaigning for McCain and he's also been campaigning for 28 congressional candidates, five U.S. Senate candidates, and two gubernatorial candidates.


Formed in April, Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC has donated $202,000 to 75 GOP candidates. He’s made another $173,000 in donations through his affiliated state PACs, including to the National Organization of Marriage in California to pass Proposition 8 and to an effort to stop a ballot initiative in Massachusetts to decriminalize marijuana use.


In all, financial support through Romney-controlled state and federal PACs has totaled $375,000.

Asked whether he would run for the presidency again, Romney says, “As you know, politics is a lot about timing; and when the window opens, you either step through or you decide not to. Well, the window opened for me, I stepped through, I got on the stage, battled hard, but I lost fair and square. And looking down the road, it’s hard to imagine the window opening again. But you know, time will tell.”

In the meantime, Romney is going on a whirlwind tour in the final days of the campaign.

“I think this is an absolutely critical time for our country, so all the team is pulling on the oars as hard as we can,” Romney says. “I’ve seen John McCain come from behind before, and it was in the race where he was running against me and Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani. He surprises folks. There’s not a lot of time to go, but I don’t count this race over yet.”

Religious Bigotry in the Presidential Race

For the past three years we have seen the hyper-racialization of our politics, where for instance not wanting to support an unconstitutional government takeover of health care is just because Obama is black. I mean never mind that we actually defeated a similar plan put forth by a white President, but no, no clearly we were all just racist for opposing it. And we were continually told that this issue or that one was really a dog whistle for racism.

Well, if you want a dog whistle, it’s really kind of hard to beat this one:



Yes, that is for real. http://www.nationalreview.com/campai...ancing-lunatic That is how Newsweek depicts Mitt Romney.

Apparently it is a riff off of The Book of Mormon a play by the creators of South Park. Knowing those guys, I suspect the play is something quite brilliant, but that grants Newsweek zero immunity for depicting Romney as a stereotypical Mormon (would we tolerate Lieberman being depicted as a character from Fiddler on the Roof – or Obama as a slave in Roots?). Indeed they picked a stereotype associated with a particularly annoying subset of the Mormon faith: the guys who knock on your door and try to convert you. Seriously, Mormons, what is the story with that? Did you notice that the Jehovah’s Witnesses had been cutting back and decided that was a niche that needed to be fulfilled?

Joking aside, I see Mormonism basically pretty much the way the South Park guys see it: http://www.southparkstudios.com/full...-about-mormons

Jobless Rate Rises… Altogether Now… ‘Unexpectedly’;
Updated With Pelosi Jobs Quote from 2006
By Doug Powers • June 3, 2011 09:29 AM

The only thing that can be expected with a large degree of confidence these days is poor economic data being reported as “unexpected.” The same holds true for yet another month: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Employ....html?x=0&.v=3

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Employment rose far less than expected in May to record its weakest reading since September, while the jobless rate rose to 9.1 percent as high energy prices and the effects of Japan’s earthquake bogged down the economy.

Nonfarm payrolls increased 54,000 last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, with private employment rising 83,000, the least amount since June. Government payrolls dropped 29,000.

Economists polled by Reuters had expected payrolls to rise 150,000 and private hiring to increase 175,000 in May. The government revised employment figures for March and April to show 39,000 fewer jobs created than previously estimated.

As Jonah Goldberg wrote this morning, hey, this is the perfect time to make a green energy guy Commerce Secretary. No thanks. http://twitter.com/#!/JonahNRO/status/76628299421462528


In other news:

–People continue making “Weiner” jokes… unexpectedly
–Media following Sarah Palin’s bus tour… unexpectedly
–Administration to blame Bush for latest unexpected jobs report… unexpectedly


Update: Harry Reid “encouraged” by the jobs report… expectedly. http://weaselzippers.us/2011/06/03/h...s-jobs-report/


Update II: Nancy Pelosi in 2006: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,227390,00.html

Pelosi was not to be outdone, however, firing back at the president who she claimed had “the worst jobs record since the Great Depression,” in spite of Friday’s news that the October jobless rate fell to 4.4 percent, the lowest it has been in more than five years.

As for the new jobs report, at least Pelosi’s consistent, because she’s still blaming Republicans. http://pelosi.house.gov/news/press-r...s-report.shtml

When do we get to that 500,000 new jobs a month plateau that Joe Biden predicted last year? http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/...y-will-cr.html

Analysis: Flat jobs data signal weakest recovery in decades[i]
By PAUL WISEMAN - AP Economics Writer | AP – Fri, Jul 8, 2011[/b]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The job market is defying history.

A dismal June employment report shows that employers are adding nowhere near as many jobs as they normally do this long after a recession has ended. Unemployment has climbed for three straight months and is now at 9.2 percent. There's no precedent, in data going back to 1948, for such a high rate two years into what economists say is a recovery.

The economy added just 18,000 jobs in June. That's a fraction of the 90,000 jobs economists had expected and a sliver of the 300,000 jobs needed each month to shrink unemployment significantly.

The excruciatingly slow growth is confounding economists, spooking consumers and dismaying job seekers. Friday's report forced analysts to re-examine their assumption that the economy would strengthen in the second half of 2011.

They had expected improvement in June after a bleak jobs report for May. They figured that hiring in May had been artificially weakened by temporary factors — a run-up in gasoline prices to $4 a gallon and factory disruptions caused by Japan's earthquake and nuclear crisis. But the June numbers were even worse than May's, even though gasoline prices are falling and factories revving up again. "This is a remarkable, across-the-board backslide," says economist Heidi Shierholz of the Economic Policy Institute.

Sometimes disappointing economic reports look better on closer inspection. This one gets uglier.

Workers' hourly pay fell in June. They worked fewer hours. And 16.2 percent of those who wanted to work were either unemployed, forced to settle for part-time jobs or had given up looking for work. That figure was up from 15.8 percent in May.

Among the frustrated is Cris Cohen, who was laid off in April from a job as a contractor for Cisco Systems in Raleigh, N.C. He's been searching for work since then, futilely combing job listings, reaching out to friends and setting up a website with a resume and a blog. "In the past when I've left jobs or been laid off, I've just contacted connections I have had, and that's led to opportunities," says Cohen, who has a wife and a 9-year-old son. "Now it's just seems much more dry.... There's just always that anxious feeling, that nausea."

One problem is that after slashing jobs during the Great Recession, employers are still reluctant to replace them. They've learned to squeeze more work and revenue out of reduced staffs. Productivity and corporate profits have soared. But companies don't want to add workers until they're confident that consumers are spending enough to support higher sales.

Other factors are restraining hiring, too. More sophisticated software lets managers scrutinize changes in their businesses minute-by-minute. They can postpone hiring until they're certain they need more workers.

Employers have good reason to wait, says economist Ken Mayland at ClearView Economics. A political standoff over the federal debt limit threatens to send the U.S. government into default next month. That would send interest rates soaring and might tip the economy back into recession.

Even if President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans agree to raise the borrowing limit, the deal will likely require deep cuts in government spending and possibly tax increases. Combined, those steps could slow the economy further.

The economy has already lost 493,000 government jobs since the recession ended, most of them eliminated by cash-short cities and counties. Now it faces the prospect of big cuts by the federal government, too.

Heightening the uncertainty are Europe's debt crisis and the possibility that China's efforts to tame inflation will slow its booming economy. Both factors could destabilize financial markets and reduce U.S. exports, one of the economy's few strengths. "Why would an employer hire now?" Mayland says. "It's hunker down and wait and see."

The Federal Reserve has already lowered short-term interest rates to near zero. And last month, it ended a Treasury bond-purchase program that was intended to strengthen the economy.

Congress, pointing to high budget deficits, won't consider spending taxpayer money to jolt the economy with new government programs. "We have painted ourselves into a corner," Mayland says. "When you're at zero interest rates and running a $1.5 trillion deficit, you don't really have many policy options."

Many analysts say the economy mainly needs time to recover from an implosion of the real estate market and a devastating financial crisis.

Normally, housing and construction would fuel a recovery. Lower interest rates would draw homebuyers into the market. Increased demand would encourage builders to hire construction workers and put up new houses.

Not so this time. Home prices are continuing to fall as banks dump foreclosed homes on the market. People's home equity has shrunk.

The tepid recovery is taking a toll on consumers, whose spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. The Conference Board business group said last week that its consumer confidence index fell to 58.5 in June. A healthy reading is 90. At this point after the previous three recessions, the index averaged 87.

The low reading suggests consumers will be wary about spending. That could leave businesses even more cautious about hiring.

Businesses are nervous about the economic outlook now that the Fed and Congress seem to have ended their efforts to stimulate growth, says David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates. "The policy cupboard is pretty bare, and we can see what the emperor looks like disrobed," Rosenberg says. "It's not a pretty picture."

The recession ended 2 years ago? Not in my area of the country.

A recession doesn't end just because the media keeps saying it has. Getting sick of seeing clear signs everywhere that the economy is and has been going nowhere while the media trumpets recovery, recovery, recovery. The sad fact is, the bubble of the late 90s was very likely the last hurrah for the US economy for a long, long time. The dollar is no longer the world's exclusive reserve currency, the US has no manufacturing base to turn to, wages are not competitive with pretty much anywhere save a few small European countries, the housing market will not be going up any time soon due to the number of homes either in or about to go into foreclosure, and a multi,multi-trillion dollar debt due to our bizarre willingness to allow the federal reserve to create debt-based dollars that in turn create an interest payment on that debt that is fast reaching unsustainable levels. How it is that we continue to delude ourselves that things are going to be fine is a lesson in perverse psychology/sociology.

---

Gosh, what a suprise. The Middle Class is broke, and on Life Support, and they wonder why the recovery is so tepid. Businesses won't hire, until consumers start spending. Most consumers are trying to figure out how to afford food, and energy bills.

---

Weakest recovery? What recovery- we are still on a down-slide. The deficit is rising on a daily basis, and we know the unemployment figure is actually much higher. I don't understand how an "economists" see a recovery when everyone else doesn't see one at all.

---

Let's see, we outsourced huge numbers of our high paying jobs without asking what jobs would replace the ones lost. Now people are working at McDonalds and Walmart and simply do not have the funds to keep the consumer consumption engine running. This is the result of DECADES of failed policies, greed, and mismanagement on the parts of our leaders in all parties, including unions, the government, and the private sector.

Mitt Romney says Obama's policies hurt economy
By Mary Slosson | Reuters – 15 hrs ago

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took aim at President Barack Obama's economic leadership on Wednesday, saying the Democrat's policies were hurting, not helping, the U.S. economy. "The president's policies almost without question have caused this recession to be deeper and longer than it would have been and have made this recovery more anemic than it should have been," Romney said at a campaign stop in a run-down North Hollywood community.

The former Massachusetts governor assailed Obama's handling of the economy, speaking against the backdrop of a foreclosed strip mall with mostly empty buildings and boarded-up windows. Saying the mall had been "scrapped in part because of challenges of the economy," Romney accused Obama of being too distracted by other matters to focus on reviving the struggling economy and vowed that would be his highest priority if he is elected president.

Last month, the Republican White House hopeful took his campaign to a shuttered plant in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where he accused Obama of failing to understand how to fix the economy and create jobs. The early front-runner in the field of candidates competing for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, Romney has zeroed in on the two issues seen as key vulnerabilities in Obama's effort to win a second-term -- the sluggish economy and the 9.2 percent jobless rate. "Some years ago just weeks after he (Obama) was inaugurated he went on the 'Today Show' and he said 'look if I can't turn this economy around in three years, I'm looking at a one-term proposition,' and I'm here to collect," Romney said, drawing cheers from about 40 supporters.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, a Democrat, pre-empted Romney's campaign event with a dim assessment of the former governor's economic record. In a conference call with reporters, Villaraigosa said Massachusetts ranked 47th out of the 50 states in job creation under Romney's governorship and had skyrocketing home foreclosures. "Romney using LA - and I emphasis 'using LA' - to blast Obama's economic policies is appalling," Villaraigosa said.

Tim Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor who is behind most of his Republican rivals in polls, has also criticized Romney's jobs record as Massachusetts governor and his support for a state healthcare overhaul that was a model for Obama's federal law.

Asked about criticism from fellow Republicans, Romney would not be drawn into the intraparty rivalry saying only that he was campaigning against Obama.

Obama's ugly campaign plan
The Week – 4 hrs ago

Team Obama's supposed plan to mount a "ferocious personal assault" against Mitt Romney may just be an attempt to goad the Republican into damaging himself

Politico reported on Tuesday that the Obama re-election team is planning a savage campaign of personal vilification against Mitt Romney.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories...921_Page3.html Barack Obama's aides and advisers are preparing to center the president's reelection campaign on a ferocious personal assault on Mitt Romney's character and business background, a strategy grounded in the early-stage expectation that the former Massachusetts governor is the likely GOP nominee.

The dramatic and unabashedly negative turn is the product of political reality. Obama remains personally popular, but pluralities in recent polling disapprove of his handling of his job, and Americans fear the country is on the wrong track. His aides are increasingly resigned to running for re-election in a glum nation. And so the candidate who ran on "hope" in 2008 has little choice four years later but to run a slashing, personal campaign aimed at disqualifying his likeliest opponent.

The attacks will tiptoe up to the line of outright anti-Mormon bigotry. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/60921.html Democrats also plan to amplify what Obama strategists described as the "weirdness" quotient, the sum of awkward public encounters and famous off-kilter anecdotes, first among them the tale of Romney having strapped his dog to the roof of his car.

None of the Obama advisers interviewed made any suggestion that Romney's personal qualities would be connected to his minority Mormon faith, but the step from casting Romney as a bit off to raising questions about religion may not be a large step for some of the incumbent's supporters.

Perhaps this talk is a first draft of an actual campaign plan. But there's another possibility, and it's one that Team Romney should take very, very seriously: It's a mind game. Thus far, Romney has resisted the temptation and the pressure to campaign against Barack Obama personally. Romney has not accused Obama of anti-Americanism. Romney has not mocked or ridiculed the First Lady. Romney has conscientiously eschewed any line of criticism that could be construed — or even cynically misrepresented — as racially coded. He has had no truck with Birtherism, he cold-shouldered the theory about Obama as a "Kenyan anti-colonialist," and he never confuses Obama and Osama.

Could it be that Obama plans a preliminary round of personal derision against Romney to bloody him, enrage him, push him off his own plan toward a battle that can only hurt him?

Romney has focused on the economic record, on jobs and growth. His message: I can deliver the recovery that has eluded Barack Obama.

Adhering to this message has demanded tremendous discipline. The Republican primary is waged in a media environment dominated by Fox News and talk radio. Those media outlets relentlessly pound home the theme: Obama is alien, hostile, and dangerous to the real America, its constitution, and its political traditions. Just this past week, a columnist at National Review suggested that Obama feels secret sympathy for the London rioters, and the cover of Rush Limbaugh's monthly letter represented Obama as a burglar, stuffing the white man's wealth into a bag of swag.

This kind of talk is odious in its own right. But leave aside political ethics and consider only the political practicalities. This kind of talk is deeply, deeply counter-productive.

For a president unsuccessfully grappling with a bad economy, Obama retains surprising personal popularity.

At the same time, the people assailing him remain some of the most disliked characters in American public life.

Finally, whatever they think of Obama's weak economic recovery, Americans remember that the collapse occurred before Obama took office, under the management of the party that now seeks to replace him. They may have lost faith that Obama can solve the country's problems. They will not be sold the claim that Obama caused those problems.

Pessimism about the economy is rife, and Obama's job approval is sagging. He could well lose the next presidential election to a candidate who can more credibly promise: "I can lead us out of this mess."

But there are two possible ways (OK, a lot more than two — but two obvious ways) to mess up such a campaign.


The first is to change the subject. Like all hard-pressed Democrats since Jimmy Carter in 1980, Obama will accuse Republicans of planning to destroy Medicare. Back in 1980, Ronald Reagan was able to chuckle "there you go again," and the accusation bounced harmlessly away. This time, it will not be so easy. The Paul Ryan budget does indeed withdraw the Medicare guarantee from Americans under age 55, and congressional Republicans overwhelmingly voted their support for that budget.

On the other hand, a nominated Romney will be less vulnerable to the Medicare attack than any other Republican. He can say, "I didn't vote for the Ryan plan. And as governor of Massachusetts, I was the first leader in the nation to bring health coverage to all citizens of my state. I just took a beating in my party primary over that plan, but I refused to apologize for it. Frankly, Mr. President, looking at your performance in 2011, I think I can do a better job standing up against wrong-headed Republicans than you."

Now here's the other way that a Republican presidential campaign can go wrong. It can allow itself to be swayed by the rage and contempt for Obama that have consumed the conservative media world. It can be infiltrated by the emotions that Rush Limbaugh and so many other Republican talkers and authors have so successfully micro-targeted. It can forget that most potential anti-Obama voters see Obama as a disappointment, not a menace. It can snarl and sneer and vilify.

We have seen that behavior in other campaigns, but not so far in Romney's. Could it be that Axelrod and the others leaked a phony battle plan to Politico in order to goad Romney into exactly the mistakes he has so far avoided? Could it be that they plan a preliminary round of personal derision against Romney to bloody him, enrage him, push him off his own plan toward a battle that can only hurt him?

That's the way it looks to me. Be careful. Be calm. Be cool. And remember, this election isn't about feelings. It's about jobs. Every hour that a Republican challenger allows himself or herself to be diverted from that subject — even by the most justifiable outrage over the most improper attacks — is an hour wasted forever.

Jimmy Carter: Obama ‘ran across the room’ to thank my grandson for finding the ’47 percent’ video
By Doug Powers • February 22, 2013 10:58 AM

The grandson of a former president has finally been thanked for his role in what some say helped President Obama win re-election. At this point, many might be asking, “Chris Christie’s grandfather was a U.S. president?” No, I’m talking about Jimmy Carter, whose grandson unearthed the “47 percent” Romney video.

Last night Carter recounted the story of how Obama recently thanked his grandson: http://dailycaller.com/2013/02/21/ca...mney-47-video/

Former President Jimmy Carter told CNN host Piers Morgan that President Barack Obama “ran across the room” and embraced James Carter — the former president’s grandson — to thank him for the infamous secretly taped “47 percent” video of Mitt Romney.

Obama and James Carter met for the first time last week while the president was in Atlanta.

“When James went to meet President Obama, President Obama ran across the room, embraced him and thanked him profusely for his time, by the way,” Carter told Morgan.

The original “six degrees of separation” between the Obama presidency and the Carter presidency have been decreasing at around one degree for each year Obama has been in office (according to the same scientists who supply Al Gore with his data). This knocked it down another degree — one more to go before full fusion (you’ll know we’re there if George starts selling his own brand of beer).

In the clip below, Carter said the “47 percent” recording was a major factor — if not the factor — in securing Obama’s re-election.
