Bennett Statement on Job Numbers and Obama Visit Today
COLUMBUS – Ohio Republican Party Chairman Bob Bennett said the new job numbers released today are a far cry from where they should be and criticized President Obama for not having an economic recovery plan.
“President Obama has spent a lot of time talking about the economy instead of doing something to fix it. His economic response has been one of the weakest in history and it’s disappointing that President Obama keeps coming to Ohio claiming credit for things he didn’t do. If it wasn’t for Governor John Kasich, Senator Rob Portman, Republicans in the General Assembly and our other newly elected statewide officeholders, Ohio would most certainly still have double-digit unemployment.
“It’s gut wrenching that that with over 23-million Americans still unemployed and underemployed this President tries to take a victory lap. Today’s stagnant job numbers is proof that President Obamas policies of more regulation, red tape and taxes don’t work.
“We need Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in the White House to ensure Ohio’s economy grows,” said Bob Bennett.
