Obama, Willing to Work with Anyone on Jobs, Must've Missed Last Week's 'USA Today'

December 9th, 2009 2:52 pm Author: GOPToast

From GOPToast:

Barack Obama recognized today the lack of support across the aisle for his job recovery ideas but claimed that he was ready to work with anyone who had ideas on the issue.

“It is appropriate that I met with leaders of both parties. Spurring hiring and economic growth are not Democratic or Republican issues. They are American issues,” he says. “I am absolutely committed to working with anybody who is willing to do the job.”

Calling for Washington to tackle the issues with “seriousness of purpose,” Obama wraps up: “I hope that as we enter the holiday season, the leaders I just met with will feel the same way.” And that’s all.

Well, Obama, it seems that you missed a certain edition of USA Today last week. And you missed most of the Internet. And, hey, even Twitter. While you were off having your pretend jobs summit, Mitt Romney was doing exactly what you just asked for. The top-ranked 2012 contender published his 10-point plan to fix the economy and create new jobs. Doesn’t that fall exactly in the “seriousness of purpose” range? Yeah, some people are out there claiming to know how to fix the economy or even offering a suggestion or two. Romney laid out an entire plan. How did Obama miss that one?

From Day One of Obama’s presidency he has sworn that he wanted all voices, all ideas. That’s never been the case though. If it was, people like Romney would’ve been asked to help from the beginning. Obama continues to talk one game while playing a completely different one.
