How can President Obama be so out of touch?

"The private sector's doing fine" - President Obama, June 8, 2012Americans For Prosperity With 40 straight months of unemployment above 8%, 12.7 million unemployed, and 15 trillion in debt, how can President Obama be so out of touch? The private sector is not doing fine. Tell President Obama to support the Americans for Prosperity Jobs Agenda.

Americans For Prosperity: It's important to remember that any agenda to create jobs must focus on economic growth. Jobs are created through vibrant private-sector economic activity, not big government jobs programs that are funded on the backs of hardworking, taxpaying Americans. A tax-and-spend redistributionist plan will never create long-lasting stable job growth.
