Obama Camp Goes After Romney For Comments On Cops, Firefighters, Teachers
Obama campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt pounced on remarks by Mitt Romney on Friday in which he pushed back against the presidents claim that the public sector was hurting.
Romney said in Iowa that Obama wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. Its time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.
LaBolt responded in a statement that: As President Obama urges Congress to pass his plan to put cops, firefighters, teachers, and construction workers back to work after they left as many as 1 million jobs from his plan on the table Mitt Romney has decided we need less jobs for middle class Americans, not more. Thats the message he received this week.

Mitt wants less cops on the streets, so he's soft on crime, and he also wants even more of your kids crammed into one class.

Job's are not that important right now.
Deficits can be countered by firing Government employee's and lowering Corporate taxes.
All American's will prosper from the removal of the Capital Gains Tax.
Who needs Police when everyone can carry guns.
Drones will mitigate the needs for law enforcement just like in Afghanistan.
With the internets in every home there is no need for teacher's or school's.
If your house catches fire then your neighbor's will help you and churches will feed you.
There is no need for federal meat inspector's since it would be against the interest of a corporation to poison it's customer's.
Medicare and MedicAid is just creating dependency on government,what these people need is for their employer's to offer them health insurance in their next job,otherwise move in with your grandkid's.
Who needs public transportation or even a highway system,we have private jets and everyone else should too.
Surrendering your rights under the constitution will make America strong again.
Unions shall be outlawed as they are actually terrorist front groups.
Hoodies shall be outlawed because they offer concealment of sodas and candies henceforth all snacks and treats will be worn in a hip holster in plain sight and handguns shall be concealed deathwish style in the perp's crack.
