Job Creators and Not

Private sector says government can't create jobs.

Private sector criticizes President Obama for not creating more jobs.

What?

Obama IS the government or at least the highest ranking person in government. How can he be blamed for not creating jobs if the private sector says government can't create jobs?

Willard "Thurston Howell III" Romney is stumping around the country deploying the lack of job creation.

His Republican-governor partners seem to be in opposition to him.

Romney spoke to Ohio college students recent college grads about the dearth of jobs -- 50 percent of whom are able to find jobs. Next to Romney sat a fidgeting, squirming, sour-looking Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who jumped in on Romney's conversation to say that 80,000 jobs were listed on the state's website. Romney looked a bit nonplussed.

"There are?" Romney said, his eyebrows shooting up.

Yes, Kasich said, and they're good quality jobs that match college grads' skill and training.

Romney looked a bit nonplussed, and was left with nothing to say.

Are the jobs listed on Ohio's website among those jobs that government can't create?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said during his 2010 campaign that he would create 250,000 new jobs during his (first) four years in office. How, if government can't create jobs. (Apparently, this is one case in which he's proving the private sector right. Wisconsin is dead last in job creation this year.

Corporate execs and the politicians carry on about the need to cut taxes on the rich because they are the job creators. If that's so, why did this country lose jobs at a near record rate and the country plunge into the worst recession since the great Depression of the 1930s after Bush's two major tax cuts and eight years of his presidency?

Where are the Democrats? Why isn't that their mantra for the 2012 presidential campaign?
