Stay classy, GOP
It took about one minute for Indiana Congressman Mike Pence’s GOP Thanksgiving address to shift from “support the troops” and “give thanks,” to “Attack President Obama.” Per Raw Story:
“We have much to be thankful for,” Pence began. But his holiday sentiments quickly turned into an attack on President Obama’s recent announcement of a “jobs summit,” to be held in December to address the problem that “the economic growth we’ve seen has not yet led to the job growth that we desperately need.”
And if your heart wasn’t warmed enough by that, Pence had more to say:
Pence went on to claim that “the Obama administration and the Democratic majority in Congress have taken our economy from bad to worse with their failed economic agenda and big government plans. And if all this wasn’t enough, Democrats in Washington continue to push for government-run insurance.”
Pence concluded his message by calling for solving the problem of joblessness through tax cuts and “fiscal responsibility.”
Meanwhile, the president kept it classy in his address, acknowledging the struggles people are facing this Thanksgiving, without attacking the rogues gallery on the other side of the aisle that got us to where we are, and vowing to turn the jobs picture around. Watch the two addresses. They couldn’t be more different.
