Zuckerman: Obama 'Unable to Get A Firm Grip' on Economy
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]President Barack Obama just doesn't get that his lack of leadership has shaped our stalled economy, says U.S. News and World Report editor Mort Zuckerman.
"Mr. Obama seems unable to get a firm grip on the toughest issue facing his presidency and the country—the economy," Zuckerman writes in The Wall Street Journal.
"He now asserts he is going to "pivot" to jobs. Now we pivot to jobs? When there are already 25 million Americans who are either unemployed or cannot find full-time work?"
"Does this president not appreciate what is going on?"
Fewer Americans are working full-time today than when Mr. Obama took office, Zuckerman notes, more than 900,000 full-time jobs were lost in the last four months alone, and long-term unemployment is at a post-World War II high.
