ROMNEY: PRESIDENT OBAMA HASN’T KEPT HIS PROMISE TO TURN AROUND THE
ECONOMY
“Now
when he was recently elected he went on ‘The Today Show’ and he was
asked about what he’d do, how he’d measure his success, and he said:
‘Look, if I can't turn the economy around in three years, I will be
looking at a one-term proposition.’ And he’s right; he is looking at a
one-term proposition. He's going to be saying today that he wants four
more years. He may have forgotten he talked about a one-term
proposition if he couldn’t get the economy turned around in three
years, but we’re going to hold him to his word.” – Mitt Romney

MITT ROMNEY:
“Now, you may have heard that President Obama is on the other side of
the state. And he's going to be delivering a speech on the
economy.
He's doing that because he hasn’t delivered a recovery for the economy.
And he’s going to be a person of eloquence as he describes his plans
for making the economy better, but don't forget, he’s been President
for 3 1/2 years. And talk is cheap, action speaks very loud. And if you
want to see the results of his economic policies, look around Ohio,
look around the country, and you’ll see that a lot of people are
hurting. A lot of people have had some real tough times and the
policies the President put in place did not make America create more
jobs. As a matter of fact, he made it harder for America to
create
more jobs. Now when he was recently elected he went on ‘The Today Show’
and he was asked about what he’d do, how he’d measure his success, and
he said: ‘Look, if I can't turn the economy around in three years, I’ll
be looking at a one-term proposition.’ And he’s right; he is looking at
a one-term proposition. He's going to be saying today that he wants
four more years. He may have forgotten he talked about a one-term
proposition if he couldn’t get the economy turned around in three
years, but we’re going to hold him to his word. Now I know that he will
have all sorts of excuses and he'll have all sorts of ideas he’ll
describe about how he will make things better, but what he says and
what he does are not always the exact same thing. And so if people want
to know how his economic policies have worked and how they performed,
why they can talk to their neighbor and ask whether things are
better.
They can talk to the 50 percent of college kids graduating from college
this year that can’t find a job. They can talk to the people who
represent the unemployed. The President said that if we let him borrow
$787 billion for a stimulus, he’d keep unemployment below 8 percent,
nationally. We have now gone 40 straight months with unemployment above
8 percent. But then he’ll say, well, but the things he’s been doing
have been good and helped to create growth and put people back to work.
Oh, really? Go check on that.”

WASHINGTON, June
5,
2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former Presidential
Candidate Gary Bauer congratulated Governor Scott
Walker for his win in Wisconsin's
recall
election,
calling
it
"another
sign
that
taxpayers
will
award
office
holders
ready
to
do
the hard work of reigning in out-of-control
government spending."
Bauer, the chairman of the Campaign for Working Families, made
the following statement:
"I congratulate Governor Scott Walker
for his hard-fought victory tonight, and most especially for having the
courage of his convictions to fight the good fight. But the victory in Wisconsin is not Scott
Walker's alone. It is a victory for the hard-working
taxpayers of Wisconsin,
who foot the bill year after year. It is a victory for common
sense
over powerful special interests. It is a victory that taxpayers
in
every state can celebrate. It is a victory, yes, even for some
union
members.
"Since
Gov. Walker's reforms were enacted, tens of thousands of state
employees have opted to keep more of the money they earn rather than
let the public employees union siphon off their hard-earned
dollars.
In other words, once given the choice, more than half of the public
employees union's members decided that they didn't need the
union.
These reforms will pay real dividends for the taxpayers of
Wisconsin.
They are the real winners tonight.
"The recall election is a sign of good things to come. The
power of the Big Labor bosses has finally been checked, not just in Wisconsin,
but also in scores of other states across the country. More
governors,
legislators and taxpayers will be inspired to stand up against the
liberal labor unions and do what is truly in the best interests of
their communities. Wisconsin's
10
Electoral College votes are now in play, and the anti-tax, small
government movement that swept the country in 2010 is about to sweep Barack Obama out of office in 154 days!"
