Rubio Blames Obama For Economic Contraction


 
Rubio Blames Obama For Economic Contraction

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) blamed President Obama for the contraction in the economy in the final quarter of 2012, saying that his big government policies were at fault during an appearance on Fox News Thursday.

"We're beginning to see proof in the last three months of last year the American economy shrunk and it shrunk under this president because of his policies," Rubio said.

Conversely, economists blamed a reduction in government spending as cause for the economic slowdown. The White House on Wednesday blamed House Republicans' "political brinkmanship" for dragging down the economy.

Funny how the economy, gas prices, every DUmmy stubbing their toe on their middle of the night bathroom visits was all the fault of the President from 2001 through 2009. Since 2009 the preezy is not responsible for anything unless it is something good then it was all him. Like when Bush got Bin Laden, 0bama took the credit.

4. Gee, I see it as a direct outcome of the GOP driving us toward their 'fiscal cliff' and

doing everything they possibly could to continue a recession.

If the GOP wanted a recession they could just sit back and allow 0bama to do it all by himself.

Rubio has really stepped out as a GOP leader.  I've seen him speaking out on these constant smears and issues quite a bit lately.

I'm a little worried about his immigration views, other than that I like him a lot.

But we all know he isn't Ron Paul so he can't be perfect.  :-)

What don't you like about his immigration plan? 

I've only heard parts of it.  He was on Rush talking about it, but I tuned in late and missed a lot.

Okay not his plan as much as whether he can be trusted to only support it after we secure the border. I worry he could compromise on that.

His plan is basically allowing illegals to be given a chance to apply for green cards after they pay a fine and any back tax owed.

Yeah, Reagan was given a "promise" by dems who always lie, in 2006 even republicans voted down an amendment that would have REQUIRED we secure the border FIRST.

It's about time the blame gets put where it belongs.

This is easy for a low IQer. If anything economically can be perceived as positive, it is all their idol, 0bama's doing. That is why there is very little that the world's smartest man has done.

What reduction in government spending?

What reduction in government spending?

Sure government spending was down from the super high +25%of 3Q 2012 down to a mere +12% in 4Q 2012. So that was the reduction. 4Q 2012 consumption got pushed into 3Q to get the economic illiterate reelected. Also see huge negative revisions to all the rosy 3Q reports out of the BSBLS. Again, the one and only tiny sliver of a silver lining is that DUchebags, women, minorities, and children will be hardest hit. The biggest voting block for 0.
