U.S. Representative John Boehner…
President Obama’s Policies “Haven’t Fixed Anything” 

The Christian Science Monitor hosted a roundtable interview with Speaker John Boehner for more than 50 reporters at the Republican National Convention today. 

In his opening remarks, Boehner said the convention would be an opportunity for the American people to learn more about the Romney-Ryan ticket and how they’re going to put Americans back to work. After spending August campaigning for Republican candidates, Boehner said it’s clear that “this election is about jobs”: 

“This convention is going to give the American people a chance to learn more about Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, and how they’re going to put Americans back to work. I think they’re clearly qualified, have created jobs, they understand that government interference in the private marketplace makes it more difficult to create jobs. They’ll provide the American people with the solutions we need – and the leadership we deserve.” 

“This month, I traveled more than 9,000 miles and did 47 events in 23 days. Wherever I went, the number one issue I heard about was jobs. If you thought people were asking ‘where are the jobs?’ before, ‘you didn’t build that’ made it ten times worse. There are always going to be other issues and distractions, but this election is about jobs.” 

And contrary to the president’s promise that he’d fix the economy within three years (or it’d be a “one term proposition”), Boehner said President Obama’s policies “haven’t fixed anything.” 

Boehner's underlying message: we can do better: 

“[President Obama] promised to fix the economy – but he made it worse. Twenty-three million Americans are out of work; the worst stretch of unemployment since the Great Depression.” 

“He promised to cut the deficit in half – yet he made it worse by adding more than $5 trillion to our national debt.” 

“He promised to fix health care – yet he made it worse. Premiums are going up, millions could lose their plans, and he cut Medicare to pay for a new entitlement program.” 

“He promised to solve our energy crisis – yet, made it worse. Gas prices have doubled during the president’s term in office.” 

“And he also promised to change the tone in Washington. Anyone who watches any TV, especially if you live in a battleground state like Ohio, I can tell you -- the ads will tell you that he’s made it worse.”
