All of a Sudden, a Referendum on Obama

By

In Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele’s statement on  the new unemployment rate of 10.2 percent, he argues that “it is time the Obama administration stop spreading their phony ‘saved or created’ talking points and start creating the dependable jobs America needs”:

President Obama promised jobs during his campaign for president, and the elections in Virginia and New Jersey on Tuesday were a clear referendum on his failure to deliver on this promise.

Bit of a change from Tuesday, when Steele said the election was not “so much a referendum on the president.” Clearly, the new spin is the wiser spin, even if the rhetoric about Obama having the power to “create jobs” rings hollow to a conservative.

The NY Times reports that this is the highest unemployment rate in 26 years. By my reckoning, that was well into Ronald Reagan's presidency.
