Pop Quiz: Is Kathy Hochul Failing ECON 101?
Millions of Americans Out of Work Yet Dem Still Won’t #StopTheTaxHike

WASHINGTON — President Obama has given us some troubling, yet telling, insights into his out-of-touch understanding of the American job market. In order to gauge Kathy Hochul’s allegiance to her Democrat leader’s philosophy, the National Republican Congressional Committee has presented her with a multiple choice question:

Which of the following statements by President Obama do you most agree with? (Please choose all that apply):

(a) Small businesses are ‘doing fine’ (Real Clear Politics, 6/8/2012)
(b) Job creators didn’t ‘build that’ (The Washington Times, 7/15/2012)
(c) Democrat policies have ‘worked’ (The White House, 7/25/2012)
(d) All of the above

“Just like in school, if you are failing a class you should consider a different approach,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “Kathy Hochul has committed to a job-crushing school of thought and working families and small business owners have suffered terribly for it.”
