Obama says Republicans hurt the jobless: really?



True to ideological form, Obama declares the Republicans are hurting jobless folks because they are blocking yet ANOTHER extension of jobless benefits as reported here.

Let's examine this from two directions: Obama's and the Jobless.

Obama believes all good things come from the Government, so of course he views the blocking of another extension as a frustration of the good liberals and progressives assign to government.

The vast majority of the jobless see it totally differently: jobs provide paychecks, they provide benefits, but most of all jobs can help in providing purpose and self-esteem to those who see work as the honorable means to an end.

The Republicans have proposed numerous initiatives that would get the economy up and moving at a pace fast enough to create real private sector jobs to lower unemployment. This is what the vast majority of jobless folks want.

Mr. President, the people vote soon, to let you know what they think of your policies and lack of leadership for this great Nation of ours.
