Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 5, 2014
Welcome to President Obama's America: where labor force participation rates are the lowest since 1978; where good-paying jobs are scarce; where many health insurance premiums are skyrocketing or being canceled; where jobs bills sent to the Senate collect dust on Harry Reid's desk; where the State Department concluded that the job-creating Keystone XL pipeline poses little environmental risk, yet the President has not approved it; where yesterday the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report stating that ObamaCare will have substantially larger negative effects on the economy than anticipated. The CBO projects the number of full-time workers to fall by 2.3 million, while increasing financial burdens on our children and grandchildren. I urge the President: use that pen to approve House-passed jobs bills; use that phone to work with Congress, and let's work together to relieve the burden that so many of your policies have placed on the backs of the American people. ____________________
