◼ In his June visit to Ohio, President Obama explained that rising unemployment rates were just “bumps on the road to recovery”. Governor Romney responded, "Those aren't bumps, Mr. President, they are 20 million real Americans whom your policies have failed. With unemployment near 9% and half a million people looking for work, Ohio deserves better”, he continued. “President Obama said if he didn't turn around the economy in three years, he would be looking at a one term proposition. He's right."
