PoliticalNews.me - Apr 19,2012 - Welcome Back to Ohio, President Obama
“President Obama may be in Ohio to talk about the economy, but Ohioans won’t be fooled by more rhetoric that doesn’t match the President’s record. After more than three years of broken promises and disastrous economic policies, the only thing President Obama has delivered for Ohio is a record of fewer jobs, skyrocketing gas prices, and a housing market that remains among the worst in the nation.” –Ryan Williams, Romney Campaign Spokesman
President Obama Returns To Ohio To Discuss Jobs And The Economy:
Two Years After His Last Visit To Elyria, Ohio, President Obama Is Back To Discuss The Economy. “More than two years after he brought his ‘White House to Main Street Tour’ to Lorain County Community College, President Barack Obama will return Wednesday to again discuss the economy. The White House confirmed this morning that Obama will appear at the Elyria campus at about 2:30 p.m.” (Henry J. Gomez, “President Barack Obama To Discuss Economy Wednesday At Lorain County Community College,” The Plain Dealer, 4/16/12)
But Ohio Is Continuing To Suffer Under President Obama’s Policies With Nearly Half A Million Ohioans Still Unemployed And Gas Prices That Have Nearly Doubled:
Ohio Currently Has 442,872 Unemployed Workers. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 4/17/12)
During President Obama’s Time In Office, Ohio Has Lost 56,500 Jobs. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 4/17/12)
Under President Obama, Ohio Has Lost 25,900 Manufacturing Jobs. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 4/17/12)
Under President Obama, Ohio’s Gas Prices Nearly Doubled From $1.90 Per Gallon In January 2009 To $3.78 Per Gallon Today. (AAA Website, www.aaa.com, Accessed 4/12/12)
It’s Not Just Unemployment And Gas Prices That Have Hurt Ohioans – President Obama’s EPA Has Threatened Ohio’s Power Plants:
President Obama’s EPA Recently Announced Greenhouse Gas Rules That Will Ensure Coal-Fired Plants “As They Exist Now Will Not Be Built In The Future.” “But beyond that, the rule means that coal-fired power plants as they exist now will not be built in the future. The standard will generally require that new power plants emit CO2 at a rate no greater than that of a natural-gas-fired power plant. Such plants emit about 60 percent less greenhouse gases than coal plants.” (Erica Martinson, “EPA Hits Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Power Plants,” Politico, 3/26/12)
EPA Regulations Will Force More Than 32 Of The Nation’s Coal Fired Plants To Shut Down. “More than 32 mostly coal-fired power plants in a dozen states will be forced to shut down and an additional 36 might have to close because of new federal air pollution regulations, according to an Associated Press survey. Together, those plants -- some of the oldest and dirtiest in the country -- produce enough electricity for more than 22 million households, the AP survey found. But their demise probably won't cause homes to go dark.” (Dina Cappiello, “AP Impact: EPA Rules Threaten Older Power Plants,” The Associated Press, 12/19/11)
