The Editorial from the Chattanooga Times Free Press That Greeted Obama Today

July 30, 2013

President Obama touched down in Chattanooga, Tennessee today to give yet another campaign speech on the economy. But not everyone was pleased with the President’s visit and his push for his failed big government agenda – including the editorial board of the Chattanooga Times Free Press. 

“Welcome to Chattanooga, one of hundreds of cities throughout this great nation struggling to succeed in spite of your foolish policies that limit job creation, stifle economic growth and suffocate the entrepreneurial spirit.

“Forgive us if you are not greeted with the same level of Southern hospitality that our area usually bestows on its distinguished guests. You see, we understand you are in town to share your umpteenth different job creation plan during your time in office. If it works as well as your other job creation programs, then thanks, but no thanks. We’d prefer you keep it to yourself.”

Tennesseans aren’t too thrilled with Obama and the Democrats’ big government, tax and spend agenda that has loaded up the national debt without creating any jobs or growth.

“That’s because your jobs creation plans so far have included a ridiculous government spending spree and punitive tax increase on job creators that were passed, as well as a minimum wage increase that, thankfully, was not. Economists — and regular folks with a basic understanding of math — understand that these are three of the most damaging policies imaginable when a country is mired in unemployment and starving for job growth.”

Read the whole editorial here. Mr. President, voters across the country are souring on your liberal agenda. We need a new direction, and it’s time you got the message.
