Rep Fleming: Obama is a Failure on Job Creation

Statement

Congressman John Fleming, M.D. released the following statement today after the release of the latest unemployment report showing that the unemployment rate grew to 9.2%. This coming after a failed $787 billion stimulus bill that President Obama promised would bring unemployment under 8% and the unconstitutional Obamacare law that Democrats promised would create jobs -- BOTH of which failed to create jobs.

"Today's unemployment report is sad news to the 20 million Americans who are out of work and further underscores the importance that we cannot spend our way to job creation. In fact, President Obama's massive spending plans made this problem worse. The facts speak for themselves: Unemployment has been above 8 percent for 29 months in a row and new business creation is at its lowest level in 17 years. Because of the uncertainty created by the President's policies, businesses would rather keep money on the sidelines than expand their workforces. As a small business owner who created over 500 jobs in Northwest Louisiana, I know how President Obama's massive spending policies and massive new regulations are devastating businesses and job creators," said Congressman Fleming.

Congressman Fleming added, "President Obama is a complete failure when it comes to job creation. Instead of attacking job creators, why doesn't he embrace them? Republicans in the House passed nine job creation bills that Senate Democrats and Harry Reid deliberately refuse to bring to the Senate floor. This is unacceptable and the American people deserve better. Maybe President Obama should spend less time on the golf course and less time hosting concerts with the Hollywood Elite and actually get serious about putting Americans back to work.
