Obama The Big Fail

President Obama doubled down on his broken promises and failed economic leadership in an interview with CBS News today, where he figured his biggest mistake as President was not telling a better story. Unfortunately, the 23 million Americans currently unemployed or underemployed need action instead of words, and on that President Obama has clearly failed.

Meanwhile, here in Arizona...
"Since President Obama took office, 67,000 more Arizonans are unemployed despite Republican efforts for pro-growth reform in the face of his disastrous economic policies. President Obama clearly doesn’t understand that empty promises and stories will not get Arizona back to work.” –RNC Spokesman Ted Kwong
