Bush: New Jobs Show ‘Policies Are Working’
Bush: New Jobs Show ‘Policies Are Working’
Alternate headline: The Truth Hurts.
Hammered by Democrats for months about a near-jobless economic recovery, President Bush on Friday basked in the news of a big jump in hiring last month, citing it as evidence that his “policies are working” as he heads into a tough re-election battle.
This is good economics news right? Well it depends on which side of the political fence you are on apparently. Here’s a quote from John Kerry…
“Obviously all of us are pleased with the job numbers this month, but there’s almost no way this administration will avoid having lost 2 million jobs.”
“all of us are pleased…but” Hmmm, that sounds a lot like the liberals position on abortion that was in the news yesterday.
Flashback…
“Everyone agrees on the need to protect pregnant women and the developing lives within them from harm – and with just a few phone calls, the President could have persuaded Congress to pass a consensus bill doing so without entangling it in the abortion rights issue.”
You can’t say you are for something and then attach a bunch of qualifiers to it. Then that means you aren’t really for it as it was stated.
