Kennedy to Ronald Reagan have known that our economy is the source of our middle class prosperity. But president obama, he believes it is the cause of our problems.

One that hit me was that he said that the economy, an economy that creates job, good, middle class jobs must be the north star for our efforts, for everything we do. And that will be the ....
