Daley can’t defend Obama’s ‘indefensible’ economic policies
“Sometimes you can’t defend the indefensible,” Daley said at a National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) meeting.
Daley couldn’t answer basic questions and continually faced criticism from the executives in the room. The business leaders even applauded each other’s criticism of the administration. “At one point, the room erupted in applause when Massachusetts utility executive Doug Starrett, his voice shaking with emotion, accused the administration of blocking construction on one of his facilities to protect fish, saying government ‘throws sand into the gears of progress,’” wrote Peter Wallsten and Jia Lynn Yang in the Washington Post.
Americans for Limited Government Communications Director and former Labor Department Public Affairs Chief of Staff Rick Manning told The Daily Caller that Daley’s inability to defend Obama’s regulations is an indication that the administration’s plans aren’t working. Manning also points out that Daley’s meeting may have large political implications.
“Business community to William Daley, your Jedi tricks don’t work on us,” Manning said in an email. “The chickens are coming home to roost from the wholesale assault by Obama on the free enterprise system and the private job creators who make it run. The meeting itself is incredible in that it demonstrates just how vulnerable Obama feels in 2012.”
(As goes the economy, so goes Ohio?)
The Workforce Fairness Institute’s Fred Wszolek told The Daily Caller that Daley’s lackluster performance is even more questionable when comes to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and its campaign against the Boeing Company. The NLRB has gone after the Boeing Company for opening a new plant in South Carolina. Boeing’s new plant is an addition to its already-existing production lines in Washington state. The NLRB’s case hinges on whether Boeing made the decision to open the new plant as “retaliation” against machinist unions in Washington, even though no jobs were lost there. In fact, Boeing has added thousands of new jobs in Washington.
As a former Boeing board member before taking on his White House job, Daley voted in favor of opening the new South Carolina plant. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has challenged Daley to come out and defend his vote in the face of the NLRB’s case, but he hasn’t yet done so.
“Bill Daley is White House chief of staff in an administration that is accusing a company where he served on the board of violating Federal labor law,” Wszolek said in an email. “The individual who launched the complaint against the Boeing Company was appointed to the post by President Obama and is currently a nominee. Now, to top it all off, Daley states he cannot defend the ‘indefensible’ conduct of his own administration, which presumably speaks to the Boeing matter.”
Wszolek questions Daley’s ability to continue “ethically” serving the president.
“All of this leads to one question: how can Daley serve in an administration that he cannot defend and believes his actions were unethical?,” Wszolek said.

January 3, 2007
The day the democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was
actually January 3rd 2007, that's the day the Democrats took over the
House of Representatives and the Senate...the start of the 110th
Congress. The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers
for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to the liberals, propagating the fallacy
that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
At the time:
1. The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
2. The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
3. The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
4. George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Remember the day:
1. January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the
House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate
Banking Committee.
2. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of
the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
3. Thank Congress for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6%
Unemployment to this CRISIS by dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic
loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fiasco's!
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting
in 2001, because it was financially risky for the U.S. economy...but, no one would listen!!!).
And, who was it who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA.
And, who fought against reforming Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and his Democratic Congress..
So when someone tries to blame Bush... REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....
THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Bush may have been in the driver's seat, but the Democrats had their feet firmly planted
on the gas pedal and, they were in complete control of the direction in which our Nation
was being directed.
So, let's set the record straight on Mr. George W. Bush!
In the coming weeks, as you listen to all the commercials and media from the Democrats
who are now distancing themselves from their voting record and their party, remember
how they wouldn't listen to you when you said you didn't want all the bailouts...you
didn't want the health care bill...you didn't want "cap and trade"...you didn't want
them to continue spending money that we don't have.
Do not forget their complicity in getting us into this mess, and mark your conscience
and yourVote accordingly!
"It's not that liberals aren't smart, it's just that so much of what
they know and say just isn't so"
The real liar here is yours truly...Obama
There's YOUR facts Beware.
