Common Sense

“I wasn’t a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn’t spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation-from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries. They called it the Reagan revolution. Well, I’ll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery, a rediscover of our values and our common sense.“
- President Ronald Reagan

CNN...Losing That 'Hope and Change' Obama Lovin' Feeling

CNN finally starting to understand the anger and contempt that the rest of America has been feeling towards the Obama Administration for their BLATANT LIES and HYPOCRASY.

Jack Cafferty Rips Obama on Failed Openness Pledge: 'Just Another Lie Told for Political Expediency'

GOP
The Democrats’ Job Standard

Posted by: Research
After
Attacking Bush During Periods Of Job Growth, And Pledging Their
Stimulus Would Create Millions Of Jobs, Where’s The Dems’ Outrage?

RNC
CHAIRMAN MICHAEL STEELE: “For close to a full year the American people
have been forced to watch and in many cases bear the burden of our ever
increasing national unemployment rate which unfortunately remained in
the double digits throughout the month of December. More than 85,000
Americans lost their jobs in the month of December, meaning more than
2.8 million Americans have lost their jobs since the stimulus passed,
and the national unemployment rate remains at 10 percent. The American
economy is a powerful and amazingly resilient system that will always
naturally return to balance because of the determination and unique
ingenuity of the American worker. But President Obama’s singular focus
on enacting his government-run liberal policies are single handily
preventing this return. It’s time for President Obama to heed the
recent words of Democrat Senator Ben Nelson and finally do what he
should have been doing over the past year – put his full and undivided
attention on fixing our economy.”

LEADING DEMS ATTACKED BUSH WHEN MILLIONS OF JOBS WERE BEING CREATED …

In 2003, Over 87,000 Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) Criticized 2003 Job Creation As
“Far From Enough.” “The slight increase in jobs last month is wonderful
news for 57,000 Americans. But the 2.1 million Americans who have been
actively looking for work for more than two years … know that it is far
from enough …” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Pelosi: ‘Slight Jobs Increase Far
From Enough -- We Must Do More to Create Jobs and Growth,’” Press
Release, 10/3/03)

In 2004, Over 2 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But In 2004, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) Claimed Bush “Created A Climate
… Where The Number of Jobs Is Not Growing.” “This President has created
a climate in this country where the number of jobs is not growing. It
did not have to be that way.” (Sen. Dick Durbin, Congressional Record,
10/08/04, p. S10764)

In 2005, Over 2.5 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But Pelosi Called 2005 Job Creation Numbers “Anemic.” “Today’s anemic
jobs numbers confirm that President Bush has still failed to create a
single new private-sector job since he became President.” (Rep. Nancy
Pelosi, “Pelosi: ‘Today’s Anemic Jobs Numbers Confirm the
Administration Has Failed to Create a Single New Private-Sector Job,’”
Press Release, 6/3/05)

In 2006, Over 2.1 Million Jobs Were Created. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But Pelosi Claimed Bush Policies “Favored The Privileged Few At The
Expense Of America’s Working Families.” (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, “Democrats
Will Restore the Economic Security of America’s Working Families,”
Press Release, 9/22/06)

By 2007, 5.7 Million Jobs Had Been Created Under Bush. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)


* But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) Claimed Bush Had
“Shameful History Of Losing American Jobs.” (Sen. Harry Reid, “Reid: As
Unemployment Reaches Two-year High, American Jobs Are The Latest
Casualty Of Bush’s Failed Economic Policies,” Press Release, 1/4/08)

THEN PROMISED THEIR $787 BILLION STIMULUS WOULD CREATE MILLIONS OF JOBS

In
February, Obama Signed $787 Billion Stimulus Bill, Claiming It Would
“Fix The Economy.” “President Obama on Tuesday signed the $787 billion
stimulus package ... ‘We have begun the essential work of keeping the
American dream alive in our time,’ Obama said, calling the legislation
‘the beginning of the end’ of what needed to be done to fix the
economy.” (Michael A. Fletcher, “Obama Leaves D.C. To Sign Stimulus
Bill,” The Washington Post, 2/18/09)

And Obama Pledged That
Stimulus Would Create 3.5 Million Jobs By End Of 2010. “[W]hat makes
this recovery plan so important is not just that it will create or save
3.5 million jobs over the next two years ...” (President Barack Obama,
Remarks At The Signing Of The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act,
Denver, CO, 2/17/09)

SO DEMS NEED TO CREATE 6.3 MILLION JOBS IN 2010 TO MEET THEIR OWN STANDARD, A LEVEL OF JOB GROWTH THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ACHIEVED

2.8
MILLION Jobs Lost Since Obama’s Signed His $787 Billion Stimulus In
February 2009. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed
12/10/09)

* Including 85,000 More Jobs Lost Last Month. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/8/09)

In
Addition To 3.5 MILLION Jobs Obama Promised Would Be Created By His
$787 Billion Stimulus By December 2010. (President Barack Obama,
Remarks At The Signing Of The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act,
Denver, CO, 2/17/09)

That Equals 6.3 MILLION Jobs Dems Need To
Create This Year Alone To Declare Economic Success, A Level Of Job
Growth That Has Never Been Achieved in American History. (U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

* Because In
1946, 4.3 MILLION Jobs Were Created, Largest Job In A Single Calendar
Year In American History. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,
www.bls.gov, Accessed 1/6/10)

KNOWING AMERICANS WILL JUDGE THEM ON JOB CREATION, AT LEAST ONE DEM IS OUTRAGED OVER SQUANDERED 2009

Obama
Says “The Yardstick Should Be … Am I Creating These Jobs?” (Sam Stein,
“Obama: Judge Me On The Jobs I Create,” The Huffington Post, 12/15/08)


* Pelosi: “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs … We Will Measure Our Success In That Way;
And Hopefully The American People Will, Too, In The Next Election.”
(Greg Sargent, “Pelosi: Judge Dems’ Success On Whether We Create ‘Jobs,
Jobs, Jobs,’” “The Plum Line” Blog, 12/3/09)

DGA Chairman, Gov.
Jack Markell (D-DE), Says “Burden Of Proof” On Dems To Show That
They’re Creating Jobs. “When you've got as many people unemployed in
the country as you do, it's understandable that folks will be looking
to their leaders to do everything possible to create jobs. As
Democrats, there's a burden of proof here.” (Peter Wallsten and Naftali
Bendavid, “Departures Shake Democrats,” The Wall Street Journal, 1/7/09)


* But Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) Says Obama Made A Mistake In Pushing
Health Care, And Should Have Focused On Jobs. “I think it was a mistake
to take health care on as opposed to continuing to spend the time on
the economy… I would have preferred not to be dealing with health care
in the midst of everything else, and I think working on the economy
would have been a wiser move …” (Chris Zavadil, “Nelson: We Should Have
Waited On Health Care,” The Fremont Tribune, 1/6/10)
* And Obama’s
Liberal Agenda Preventing Small Businesses From Creating Jobs, “Could
Impede An Economic Recovery.” “But a health-care overhaul grinding
through Congress could bring unknown new obligations to insure
employees. Bush-era tax cuts are set to end next year, and their fate
is unclear. Legislation aimed at tackling climate change might raise
businesses’ energy costs. … Many companies say they have responded by
freezing hiring, cutting benefits and delaying expansion plans. With at
least 60% of job growth historically coming out of the small-business
sector, according to the government’s Small Business Administration,
that kind of inertia could impede an economic recovery.” (Gary Fields,
“Political Uncertainty Puts Freeze on Small Businesses,” The Wall
Street Journal, 10/28/09)
