Obama's California Misery Tour Shows Lack of Vision

SACRAMENTO — While President Obama makes another fundraising trip to California today to fill up his campaign coffers in Hollywood and San Francisco, California voters have been visibly disappointed by his lack of vision and economic policies that have failed to deliver jobs and economic relief. Their misery has been recorded in the President's rapidly falling numbers in California, where a recent Field Poll shows that, for the first time since Obama took office, fewer than half of state voters approved of his overall performance.

 

Here's Obama's California record:

 

•Since Obama Became President, California Has Lost 430,300 Jobs And The Unemployment Rate Has Increased From 9.7 Percent To 11.9 Percent. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, BLS.gov, as of 10/21/11)

 •The White House Predicted That The First $825 Billion Stimulus Would Save Or Create 396,000 Jobs In California. ("UPDATED: American Recovery And Reinvestment Act: State-By-State Jobs Impact," WhiteHouse.gov, 2/13/09)

 •Since The First Stimulus Was Passed, California Has Lost 304,700 Jobs And The Unemployment Rate Has Increased From 10.1 Percent To 11.9 Percent. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, BLS.gov, as of 10/21/11)

  

"It's bad enough that Jerry Brown and the rest of the Democrats in Sacramento have no clue about how to solve California's fiscal crisis, but now President Obama has compounded the problem by booking another Golden State fly-by," said CRP Chairman Tom Del Beccaro. "By proving that he's more concerned about fighting for his own job than fighting for ours, Obama has become the visionless captain of a sinking ship."
