President Obama Uses Words to Fight Back GOP Lead Attacks

During the Labor Day speech in Milwaukee, the president said Republicans are expecting between now and Election Day November 2, Americans will forget the Republican and Bush Administration economic policies that started this current recession.

"These are the folks whose policies helped devastate our middle class and drive our economy into a ditch. And now they're asking you for the keys back," Obama said during his speech. "They think it's better to score political points before an election than actually solve problems."

Obama when on to add, "Even as we speak, these guys are saying no to cutting more taxes for small business owners. I mean, come on! Remember when our campaign slogan was "Yes We Can?" These guys are running on "No, We Can't," and proud of it. Really inspiring, huh?"

"If I said fish live in the sea, they'd say no," he stated. President Obama also made a pledge to "keep fighting, every single day, every single hour, every single minute to turn this economy around."

GOP Leadership State Bluntly to Not Count on Their Help to Pass the Job Creation Proposals

Republicans made clear that Obama should not expect any help from them, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the plan "should be met with justifiable skepticism." He said it would raise taxes while Americans are "still looking for the 'shovel-ready' jobs they were promised more than a year ago" in the $814 billion economic stimulus measure.

The House Republican leader, John Boehner of Ohio, added "We don't need more government 'stimulus' spending. We need to end Washington Democrats' out-of-control spending spree, stop their tax hikes, and create jobs by eliminating the job-killing uncertainty that is hampering our small businesses."
