In an on-the-record conference call with bloggers and reporters today, former NH Gov. John Sununu blasted away at President Obama. The Romney surrogate tore into the president’s demotivating remarks to business, saying “I wish this president would learn how to be an American.” Sununu quickly clarified his remarks, saying “The president has to learn the American formula for creating business.”
Gov. Sununu also addressed the ongoing veep search, declaring that he “knows nothing” about the selection while expressing support for Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio.
Watch for the Obama campaign to accuse Sununu of Birtherism and demand an apology from Mitt Romney, while not backing down from calling Romney a felon.
All the Obama campaign has to do to straighten out this old man is tell him the Obama has created more private sector jobs in three years than George H W Bush and George W Bush combined.
One would think Conservatives would be delighted about the private sector job creation while also getting rid of public sector jobs which is a wet dream of conservatives. Reagan, the Two Bush’s never did it. As a matter of fact in al three they increased public sector jobs and if that was happening the economy would be much better off.
Hey, lefty punk, does your mother know you’re down there in the basement doing that?
This is what happens when people think Orwell’s 1984 was a how-to manual on governance rather than a cautionary tale. This entry by “Boston Lib” is a spectacular example of Orwellian Newspeak Bullshit.
Good God, does “Lib” actually believe this nonsense?
Poor Bozo can’t tell the difference from refuting someone comments to make them look like idiots and stating what is fact. There will be a response as I stated which cannot be refuted that under Obama more private sector jobs have been created in the last three years than under both Bush’s. That is not up for debate. Now if you want to make it a different issue and state that Presidents should be given credit for job growth have at it. You certainly can’t say that conservatives don’t enjoy the depletion of jobs in the public sector.
Now unless you have something of value to add GFY
he does, and 46% of voters, too….evidently overwhelming evidence of being an idiot is not sufficient to not support the O

“All the Obama campaign has to do to straighten out this old man is tell him the Obama has created more private sector jobs in three years than George H W Bush and George W Bush combined. ”
You remind me of another self-professed liberal, quoted here at PJM, who said “There is no truth, there is only the narrative”. You have no truth, you simply have stories for the gullible, of which there is an unfortunate glut thanks to our public school system. You have the misfortune of posting on a site where we pay attention to truth, and therefore know that you are lying or hopelessly deceived.
I suggest you emulate a South Korean whose story is up at Belmont Club, and move yourself and your family to North Korea. You’ll be among your own kind there.
You can’t handle the truth – is that statement wrong? If not then you know what you can do
It’s a patently false statement, verified over so many different sources (including here at PJM) that I’m not going to bother to link to something you’ll simply deny anyhow. I will tell you that I was a grown-up when Reagan was President, and the incredibly powerful economy he bequeathed on the country was still going strong when Clinton was President and took the credit for it.
Now run away to North Korea like a good little Marxist…
In case you are unaware as you seem to be – I didn’t mention Reagan and please do link to how many private sector jobs were created under GW (it was negative) and his father?
Well, then…why is Lil’ Duce all “Bain & stuff”? And according to the Fractional/Fictional Indian Posse, those “private sector” jobs are all government jobs, ultimately. Also, where do the crony capitalist jobs created by Mr. “Private Sector: How Does It F’in Work?” fit in the spectrum?
,
The statement is worse than false.. it’s stupid.
The logic of the claim works like this: “We lost a net 3.25 million jobs since Obama took office, but if he hadn’t come along to save us, we’d have lost 6.5 million jobs. Therefore he created 3.25 million jobs.”
Yeah, if wishes were fishes…
Look, if I didn’t have Cheerios for breakfast this morning, the world would have ended. Don’t I deserve the same benefit of doubt as the president? Give me some credit for saving the planet.
um, do you mind if I call you Stoopid?
Well, Stoopid, here’s the thing. You can’t count jobs that were created because of the $890 Billion stimulus and then people were laid off when uncle sugar ran out of taxpayer candy. Solyndra and all that.
And you can’t count the jobs that were “saved or created” because those are just a big fat marxist lie.
And you can’t count people on welfare, disability (nearly the same thing), and unemloyment because those aren’t really “jobs”. You probably don’t know that, since Stretch Pelosi thinks those are the greatest economic boosters that could possibly exist.
But you should count as negative jobs the 4 million people who have entered the workforce since the Avenger took office and can’t find jobs because they don’t exist. That kicks the fantasy number of 8.2% up to about 10.5% unemployment. And you should count as negative jobs the 10 million or so people who have been forced into part-time work because the Avenger’s policies are a clear message to any rational business owner to NOT HIRE anybody. That kicks unemployment to about 17%. Even that is about 5% below the true number.
I actually get a thrill, Stoopid, when I hear somebody like yourself make your stupendously stupid argument. Carville did it on Hannity last night as well.
Because, Stoopid, there are millions of people who aren’t stupid in this country, and they have eyes and can see through the fog of junior high “audacity”.
Job creation numbers mean nothing without context. It’s not fair to compare Obama’s job creation with Bush’s in the same way it’s not fair to compare the average unemployment rate under Bush to Obama. How does Obama’s job creation and unemployment reduction compare to other post recession recoveries? Overall, it’s the worst “recovery” since the Great Depression. This is particularly bad considering the unprecedented amount of monetary and fiscal stimulus.
Even if BL believes the stuff he spouted about job creation (ridiculous on its face) he really irks people who can plainly see the suffering around them. Here in NC the unemployment claimed is at or over 11%, a sadly laughable claim in certain groups where it is much much higher.
We don’t have to argue with you Mr. Lib, it makes no sense to try to dissuade you from your delusions, but just know there is a reason President Zero has no traction, can’t break the magical 50% and is clinging by his teeth to the bitter lies you can only hope enough stupid people will believe.
Empiricism.
So go ahead and claim great job creation falsehoods. I think it’s beautiful the way you folks pi$$ off so many people by telling them ‘the private sector is fine’ and then you don’t understand the reaction. OUT. OF. TOUCH. MUCH? It’s talk like yours about ‘jobs created’ that convinces people you have no clue how to manage the economy. You have to recognize the problem before you can fix it. Pollyannaing the economic numbers is really helping our side, so keep it up. People have realized that this pretense is necessary otherwise you’d have to own the economy you broke, but in so doing, you’re giving R’s the best villains to fight in a generation: Arrogance and Ignorance personified by Obama’s campaign.
Oh yeah…back to the main point now that we’ve all wasted our time carving up the BostonButt.
Like a Viking, Mr. Sununu.

Nice try but try looking at what I said. The last three years which takes you to July 09. Why would I measure from Jan 09 when the economy was losing 800K jobs in January alone?
Oh and I said the two Bush’s and didn’t mention Reagan but under Reagan he did increase public sector employment under his stewardship.
Logically, Obama’s job creation should be measured against the expected job creation the country would see in a normal recovery cycle sans Obamacrap.
He’s destroyed millions of jobs.
Keystone.
Obamacare.
Stimulus money being wasted.
These are job destroyers.
We can look at history. We here a lot about government spending stimulating the economy, but a historian knows that’s a debatable claim. Much more important than what the government SPENT is what the government BOUGHT.
History shows that when government provides security and good infrastructure, and allows the opportunity for people to get rich, prosperity results. The best eras of the Roman Empire, Late 19th century America, Golden Age Amsterdam, Renaissance Florence and Venice, etc, etc etc. They didn’t get rich offering free birth control.
Ours talks about roads and bridges, but in reality, buys… studies, plans, reviews, lavish retirement packages, medical coverage for 26 year old “children”, offices that liaison with offices that coordinate with offices that interface, gifts to unions, etc, etc, etc.
Everything BUT the damn bridges and roads.
You want to know the truth? Reality isn’t how much the government spent. It’s what was bought. And.. Concrete consumption in the US under Obama has gone DOWN. DOWN. It doesn’t matter how much he says he spent. He bought LESS.
You want reality? Road construction is measured in lane miles per year. Under Obama, the annual construction SLOWED. Yeah, something was shovel ready, alright.
Here’s the f***ing reality: A hundred million dollars spent dredging a harbor stimulates the economy. A hundred million dollars spent reviewing plans to dredge a harbor, and putting a bureaucracy in place to do it, stimulates Liberals.
