The president really claimed that the nation tried his economic plan and "it worked." In fact, the president's policies haven't come close to working. 41 straight months of unemployment above 8 percent. 23 million unemployed or underemployed Americans. The worst economic recovery since World War II. A budget-busting health care law that will make it harder for Americans to obtain medical care, according to the New York Times. The evidence is clear: the president's policies are not working.
President Obama recently claimed that America tried the Democrats' economic plan, "and it worked." The dismal economic growth we're experiencing - just 1.5 percent in the second quarter of 2012 - tells a different story. With 41 straight months of unemployment above 8 percent, 23 million Americans unemployed or underemployed, and the worst economic recovery since World War II, the president's comments have left a lot of Americans saying, "Sorry, Mr. President, it's not working."
