In the Weekly Republican Address, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) highlighted the Republican Plan for America’s Job Creators and says Washington needs to “focus our efforts toward growing the private sector, where jobs are created.” But even with President Obama’s economy “faltering” and “sluggish,” the White House isn’t focused on jobs.

Republicans Are Listening to the American People & Have a Plan for “Jobs-Focused Governing”:

Republicans spent last week talking with families and small businesses about A Plan for America’s Job Creators, the GOP job creation plan that builds on the Pledge to America with measures designed to remove government obstacles to private-sector job growth.
In Ohio, Speaker Boehner said, “We need to reduce the regulatory burden and the regulatory uncertainty that's coming out of Washington” to help create new jobs.

The White House Isn’t Focused on Jobs:

Instead of putting forward a serious job creation plan, President Obama referred to the latest disappointing jobs report as a “blip” …
…but the government official whose job it is to collect the unemployment data says the report actually reflects a “general weakening in job growth.”
The White House admitted the president no longer holds daily economic briefings.

Jobless claims are up, the “double dip” in housing prices is “worse than expected,” and consumer confidence is falling – all part of President Obama’s economy.
Americans’ Disapproval Puts the Spotlight on President Obama’s Failed Economic Policies:

A majority of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s handling of the economy and “more than eight in ten Americans say that the economy is in poor shape.”
The Obama Administration’s de facto energy moratorium has cost jobs and led to a 16 percent decrease in American energy production.
A survey by McKinsey & Company says businesses planning for the onslaught of ObamaCare taxes, mandates, regulations, and penalties have two choices: stop offering health care for their employees, or eliminate full-time jobs and keep wages low. Read more.
No wonder so many out-of-work Americans are giving up on the Obama economy.
