RPOF Chairman Lenny Curry issued a statement Tuesday on President Barack Obama's visit to Florida:

As the president comes to Florida today to raise money for his campaign, news reports say he will also be meeting with unemployed construction workers. During that meeting he should explain why his original $825 billion stimulus has failed to create jobs for them. Obama himself has admitted that the shovel-ready jobs included in the original stimulus were not as shovel-ready as we expected. We just cant trust Obama to get the job done.

Now throwing good money after bad, hes proposed a second stimulus. Stimulus 2.0 will only raise taxes and contribute to more out-of-control government spending. By continuing to push for the same tired policies, Obama proves he has run out of ideas on how to fix Americas economy. If the president is serious about job creation, Id be happy to introduce him to innovative small-business leaders in Florida who could teach him a thing or two.
