Romney hits out at Obama jobs 'feat'
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Weak jobs data threw President Barack ObamaThe Cambridge police acted stupidly... on the defensive, as Republican White House hopeful Willard MittRomney ...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the presumptive Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney's charisma is best defined as soporific, which is probably why he is leading the Publican field. On the plus side, he isn't President B.O... told America's middle class it did not have to put up with such misery. Eagerly awaited monthly government figures made for grim reading, showing that only 80,000 jobs were created in June, well short of the rate Obama needs to swiftly cut the 8.2 per cent unemployment rate before November's election. The Labour Department report may interrupt several weeks of political momentum for Obama, and allow his foe Romney to shift the debate away from Democratic attacks on his past as a venture capitalist and back to the president's record. "There is a lot of misery in America today, and these numbers understate what people are feeling, and the amount of pain which is occurring in middle class America," Romney said in New Hampshire, where he is on vacation. The president's policies "have clearly not been successful in re-igniting this economy, in putting people back to work," Romney said. "It doesn't have to be this way. America can do better, and this kick in the gut has got to end." Obama, on the second day of a bus tour positioning him as a champion of the middle class, tried to prevent the jobs report, which follows weaker numbers on manufacturing and retail sales, from suffocating his rationale for re-election.
