One Newsweek post deserves another...Valerie Jarrett, longtime friend of the Obamas and the president's senior advisor, is still blaming George W. Bush for its problems.
Let's face it, we inherited a mess. If you think about it, a year ago, [America] was losing 700,000 jobs a month. We were in the midst of a financial-institution meltdown. The global economy was literally on the brink of disaster. And now we're no longer losing 700,000 jobs a month. We've stabilized the financial institutions. [But] the economy isn't where we want it to be, because we still have a 9.7 percent unemployment rate. In that kind of economic climate, taking on the bold initiatives that the president took on, it's no wonder that people are feeling very anxious and angry and uncertain.
When will the country gain jobs, Val? And as far as bold initiatives, what happened to Obama's laser-focus on jobs?
