George LeMieux Slams Obama and Bill Nelson on the Economy

On Thursday, former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, now in the Republican primary looking to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, unloaded on President Barack Obama and Floridas senior senator on the economy.

President Obama and Senator Nelson continue to support policies that are hindering our economic recovery. Together, they continue to create economic uncertainly by failing to lead with clarity, supporting higher taxes, and refusing to solve Americas debt problem, noted LeMieux. As a result, we continue to struggle with the worst economy in 70 years, high unemployment, record dips in the stock market, and a downgrading of Americas credit rating. I sincerely hope the president and Senator Nelson reconsider their policies and support initiatives that foster economic growth and encourage job creation.
