david kaplan show david dot com just when you've got to flip flops on the
exact same if he is
maybe the extent that permit romney now we're seeing yet another change on one
of his his key positions and that romney has made the case strongly that he would
be good for the economy jobs his experience at bain capital
would make him a good president we've heard all the stuff for a long time
louis
he would definitely be good for the economy uh... the chinese economy right
we'll remember
a couple weeks ago i think it was i think it was around uh... well at the
beginning of may certainly because it was the april numbers we saw the april
jobs numbers and we saw unemployment had declined
to about eight point one percent or something like that okay
now mit romney came out and said you know
initially romney had said getting down to eight percent would be good
brock obama is approaching that submit running came out and said you know
anything above four percent is really nothing to cheer about and if i were
president we would get down to four percent
of course he also said that he would be creating five hundred thousand jobs per
month if we look back at history over the last fifty years they'd only
happened
five times
one of them was with reagan one of them listen to clinton and that there were
three other months where that happened
so bromley clearly making completely pandering outrage is unbelievable
ridiculous comments about it but at least you think he would stick to the
four percent right
he was actually asked in an interview just the other day abide mark halperin
well what was done point b
if you were the president
and here's what he had to say it again remember
first eight percent was the goal when obama approach that anything more than
four is that there's no reason to to cheer about anything more than four now
here's ron easily discount
would you like to be more specific about what i'm kitty unemployment rate would
be like at the end of your first year
act
possibly predict
precisely with employment rate will be at the end of one year i can tell you
that over a period of four years by virtue of the policies that we've we put
in place we get the unemployment rate down to six percent of practical or
stands apart upon the rate of growth of of the globe as well as uh... what we're
seeing here the united states but we get the rate down a quite substantially and
frankly they got so now all of a sudden
romney who would be incredibly good for the country
would get us down to six percent maybe a little bit lower
i thought anything over four percent wasn't anything to cheer about is he
saying his own
job numbers are going to be good news that we telling fifty
ec i mean considering his his past you would assume that he sits at the guy who
would
give a completely unreasonable number like four percent sir regardless of what
critics say because that's their i mean that's what he does so it's i'd find it
strange it is going app backup sexy and if you really wanted to say two percent
yet if you just pandering and backpedaling and lying
just gogo stick with four percent to be the way it's not going to be true i mean
come on
so if as president what what he's saying is he gets down to five point eight
percent unemployment
when that re-election campaign starts for twenty sixteen he's not going to be
counting that as a success objects
well i think you probably will you know i think the confusion and i think you
know you have been elsewhere on the head louis he's talking about the chinese
unemployment rate if he's president unemployment in china that's really go
down to six percent
i guess this must really show that romney doesn't have much faith in those
job creators he keeps talking about right leg bain capital and all those
well denied i_q_ guarantee you will create plenty of a receives jobs
i can't figure it out
how we could even really expect honestly to lower the unemployment rate because
eleven republicans agenda is
buyer teachers
fire police officers
giver postal workers close post offices they want to get rid of alicia u_s_d_a_
at page a female that you ph
i guess that the bs
i guess then you can just drop all the minimum wage laws and you'll have full
employment with people working for eighty cents an hour maybe that's the
plan
you know it
what was that uh...
who was it that was just
claiming that we should the root of uh... minimum wage michelle back about
three hours there
well i mean it's not an
uncommon uh...
they'd seen it wouldn't be unprecedented now you know i'm not a sponsored yeah i
just think that uh... this could be a problem for the obama campaign romney
saying things like this
because it's gonna immediately put obama campaign on the defensive
and turns people are actually worried about the economy that interview obama
as the the spoiler of the party pooper the guy who's who's telling you know
disguise being unrealistic we're not going to get the unemployment rate down
that fast that used to write as if anyone has ever been probably eyes if
obama simply
agreeing with the impossibility of four percent content would get people to say
all your youth he's dreaming big he's thinking that it's a good point for
people to recognize the impossibility of four percent and uh...
i guess they even if they do they think someone is willing to give it a shot
is there god is more likely to actually see that rain though it's completely
disconnected from the realities of the economy
