The point is that since that time, under President Obama’s administration, we have eight million jobs created - largely in the private sector. 46 straight months of private sector jobs increase. Now that's not good enough - we have an 'opportunity gap' that the president will be addressing, but let’s remember where we were and how far we have come from the Bush economic policies to where we are now.So you see, everything is going just swimmingly! Sure, this is Obama's sixth year as President, and yeah, he's given us the smallest labor participation rate since 1978, but you have to remember that George Bush existed. If you keep that in mind, Nancy thinks you'll understand that the Obama years are practically a model of perfection!
The point is, what is happening here now, and let’s, since you’re trying to analyze it, is that we have a large segment of the Republican party that is anti-government. We don’t want any more government than we need, but they’re anti-government, anti-science, and anti-Obama. They have a trifecta that is going. I say to the Republicans, take back your party. We all come with our views, but none of us thinks that our view will prevail. You come with confidence about the debate that goes on to try and influence the decision, but to obstruct every initiative that the president has put forth on jobs and then say, ‘Why don’t we have more jobs?’ Well, we do have more jobs, but no thanks to the Congress of the United States. So I would be among those who disapprove of the way Congress does its business.Huh?
...We did not treat President Bush this way.Huh?
...This obstruction to President Obama is something quite stunning, and something quite different.Huh? Congratulations San Francisco. This is a woman you've voted for time and again. You must be so, so, proud.
