And during that -- Univision for on the president was asked how a college student.
Confided jobs in this US economy here is part of it.
Response.
The good news is over the last thirty months we've seen.
Job growth every single month four and a half million new jobs.
Well -- not enough and do people believe that joining us any.
'cause -- he's a funny economic advisor and also the CEO of CKE restaurants they can answer.
What the President Obama didn't create for -- million jobs that if there -- four -- half million jobs created in the United States it was by the private sector number one.
Number two we have a million fewer jobs then east then when he took office and number three he said the unemployment rate would be at five point 4%.
If we spent the 800 -- a trillion dollars in stimulus and obviously we spent all the money and unemployment for 43 straight months has been over 8% we have 23 million people unemployed.
One out of every six people in the United States is living in poverty where 47 million people on food stamps not.
You you can't you can't possibly pull good news out of that I think that.
The president seems like a very nice guy I don't know him and I I give him credit for trying to to find a silver lining to this -- but really there is no silver lining he's pursued.
Government policy -- three things government government and more government even as jobs -- his jobs bill is more government employees.
And government infrastructure project very very different than governor Romney's five point plan that goes to the private sector -- reducing the size of government so.
I think that -- gets credit for trying but they're really is no silver cloud here is economic policies have been a disaster.
I done this Charles -- speaking of credit for trying.
Are running is not getting a lot of credit for this twelve million memories throwing out people everyone.
Republican and Democrats are saying we need specific so what's the actual road map so we can buy -- that the clock is ticking.
What are we gonna get this roadmap.
That's one of the things Charles that that I am -- that is a little disconcerting I I worked with the governor on the 459 point plan that he put out.
We then clarified that with respect what he would do for education.
For energy and on taxes and all anybody ever said at the time what he's a policy -- -- to focused on the trees he doesn't see the forest.
He's too much into detail and then we came out at the convention with a five point plan which I think it's really have a very very good plan a relies on again.
A domestic energy domestic education.
Not cutting the deficit and supporting small businesses on an opening up free trade.
And gave specifics -- perspective that are really gave more of a general approach to what we're going to do.
And what that the mainstream media comes out now and says is there's not enough detail.
I think governor Romney's very good on detail I think you'll see that in the debates and anytime you have a show long -- telling all the details I'd be glad do so glad to be I didn't go through with you.
-- -- show that you know it's that the message really is not getting out there and essentially no other word is is that.
The reason why Mitt Romney can't close the sale.
It's because many response to a -- see obviously response like this CEO.
Instead of it down and dirty politician that we -- -- to Neil -- about that what do you make of that.
Well it as a CEO myself by I mean maybe I shouldn't be too critical there -- -- wanna throw stones you're living in a glass house.
But I think I think what's happened recently I think there's been a very very positive.
Development -- respect to the campaign I think we've really clarified what we're talking about we have a candidate.
-- -- number one is supportive of America's a free enterprise society supportable liberty and support about the economic freedom and that's -- Mitt Romney.
On the other side of that equation we have a candidate who wants greater government centralization.
And greater government dependency that's Barack Obama I think as best as we go forward.
And the campaign -- -- around those two philosophies America has no choice and I.
I hope you're your listeners out there who were considering voting for Barack Obama understand that he's a nice guy you shouldn't feel bad about having voted -- last time.
But he's taking America down the wrong course in the wrong direction and we need we need to change we need to go back to what works.
-- -- -- CEO let's CKE restaurant also basically Iran the economic advisors thank you so much at times are really --
