Romney On Jobs: If Last Night Was The Party, This Morning Is The Hangover
Mitt Romney released the following statement following a Bureau of Labor and Statistics report showing the economy added a weaker than expected 96,000 jobs in August.
If last night was the party, this morning is the hangover," Romney said. "For every net new job created, nearly four Americans gave up looking for work entirely. This is more of the same for middle class families who are suffering through the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression.
"After 43 straight months of unemployment above 8%, it is clear that President Obama just hasn't lived up to his promises and his policies haven't worked," Romney continued. "We arent better off than they were four years ago. My plan for a stronger middle class will create 12 million new jobs by the end of my first term. America deserves new leadership that will get our economy moving again.

All I hear is that the mess Shrub created hasn't been cleaned up fast enough... Why would anyone want more of the same that created the mess? Come on, Mitty, can't you give us one example?
