GOP Rep. Geoff Davis (Ky.) used the weekly Republican radio address to pound the Obama administration over its economic record, suggesting that the economy would revive quickly if the government loosened a swath of business regulations.

Davis’s address came a day after statistics were released by the Labor Department that showed 67,000 new jobs were added in August — more than expected — but the nation still saw a net loss of 54,000 jobs.

Republicans have been hammering Obama over the economy all year, hoping to build on their polling advantage going into the November elections, which could see the GOP recapture the House.

“Yesterday, Americans from coast to coast began their day with the news that our economy has lost jobs for three months in a row. The nation’s unemployment rate has now been above nine percent for 16 consecutive months,” Davis said. “This is despite the fact that the Obama administration promised that the trillion-dollar ‘stimulus’ would keep unemployment below eight percent. So the question remains: where are the jobs?

“The Obama administration told the American people this would be a ‘Recovery Summer’. But our economy continues to lose jobs.Growth has slowed to anemic levels. Our national debt is growing by more than four billion dollars per day. So as it turns out, ‘Recovery Summer’ was nothing more than a meaningless slogan.”

First off... they include the same census jobs over and over by cheating... then they claim job growth due to these made up inflated jobs that did not exist... then when those few jobs that did exist disappear... the regime tries to explain them away as temporary. There has been NO JOB CREATION and we are not in a recovery or double dip... we are in a depression... and the liars of the regime can no longer hide from those facts. All they have is the big lie... that is it... nothing but evil, lies, sharia and communism.

It’s nice to see a Repulican, somewhere, attempting to control the initiative of the situation. RIght about now the GOP needs to be bringing all kinds of things up - not resting on the polling data. They also need to be preemptive about the ‘October Surprise’ - talking about it, wondering what it will be, etc. October will be a viscious month. Republicans need to control the story.
