Charge and Response- President Obama's Remarks in Holland, Michigan
CHARGE: “[N]ow some of what we're facing today has to do with events beyond our control. As the economy was improving and improving through 2009, 2010, the beginning of this year, suddenly it was hit with the unrest in the Middle East that helped send gas prices through the roof. Europe is dealing with all sorts of financial turmoil that is lapping up on our shores. Japan’s tragic earthquake hurt economies around the globe, including ours, cut off some supply chains that were very important to us.”
RESPONSE: Once again, the president offers more excuses and fails to acknowledge his administration role in our historically slow economic recovery. President Obama’s policies that keep us on a path to national bankruptcy, saddle American job creators with tax hikes, and burden small businesses with regulations and red tape are the real reason behind our current economic environment.
