GOP Weekly Address 6/23/2012 Replace Obamacare With Common Sense Solutions

Posted on June 23, 2012 by Alan Cosgrove

In this week’s address, Rep. Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) discusses House Republicans’ focus on jobs and fully repealing the president’s health care law. The law makes it difficult for small businesses to expand and hire new workers, it drives up health care costs, and it’s making our economy worse. After the Supreme Court’s decision, House Republicans will work to implement reforms that give the power of choice and control to the patient–not government bureaucracy. “Unless the Court throws out the entire law, we should repeal what is left and implement common-sense, step-by-step reforms that protect Americans’ access to the care they need, from the doctor they choose, at the lowest cost.”

President Obama’s Weekly Address 6/23/2012 We’ve Got Responsibilities That Are Bigger Than An Election

Posted on June 23, 2012 by Alan Cosgrove

From the White House, “President Obama discusses the urgent need for Congress to act now on two common sense measures to help middle class families: preventing interest rates on federal student loans from going up and putting hundreds of thousands of construction workers back on the job.” According to President Obama he has done his part, and the Senate has done their part, but “now it’s up to the House to follow suit; to put aside partisan posturing, end the gridlock, and do what’s right for the American people.” “It’s not lost on any of us that this is an election year. But we’ve got responsibilities that are bigger than an election. We answer to the American people, and they are demanding action. Let’s make it easier for students to stay in college. Let’s keep construction workers rebuilding our roads and bridges. And let’s tell Congress to do their job. Tell them it’s time to take steps that we know will create jobs now and help sustain our economy for years to come.”

President Obama’s Full Speech in Tampa, Florida 6/22/2012

Posted on June 23, 2012 by Alan Cosgrove

President Obama’s full remarks from Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida.
“We can reform our tax code in a way that is fair and responsible. Which by the way means let’s stop giving tax breaks to businesses that ship jobs and factories overseas let’s reward companies that create jobs and manufacturing right here in the United States of America. Now, Mr. Romney disagrees with this, you know today it was reported in The Washington Post that the companies his firm owned were “pioneers” in the outsourcing of American jobs to places like China and India. Pioneers! Let me tell you Tampa, we don’t need an outsourcing pioneer in the Oval Office. We need a President who will fight for American jobs and fight for American manufacturing. That’s what my plan will do. That’s why I’m running for a second term as President of the United States.”

German Gabor Steingart Says President Obama Missed The Point

Posted on June 23, 2012 by Alan Cosgrove

Handelsblatt Editor-in-Chief Gabor Steingart responds to President Obama’s criticism of a Glenn Hubbard op-ed that appeared in the paper. Steingart says,

My name is Gabor Steingart, and I am the editor in chief of the Handelsblatt, Germany’s leading business daily. During a news conference at the G-20 summit, the American president, Barack Obama, beat up one of our op-ed writers. Obama blasted Glenn Hubbard, a distinguished professor of Columbia Business School in New York, who also happens to be the chief economic adviser of Mitt Romney. ‘Don’t Follow the Americans’ was the title of Hubbard’s piece in our newspaper’s recent weekend edition, where Mr. Hubbard made his case against excessive debt creation. Obama’s aggressive response: ‘We have one president at a time.’ He accused our op-ed writer of breaking a rule. ‘Criticism has to stop at the water’s edge,’ so the president said.
I say the American president missed the point. Debt creation is not an American issue alone, and debt addiction is an illness which has affected all of our societies. Our ability to create growth and to promote new and better jobs is shrinking. Today, America has pushed the debt ceiling 81 times. And the debt/GDP ratio far exceeds the European level……..
…..Obama has it right. There can only be one president at a time, but maybe he’s the wrong guy in the driver’s seat.
