Romney's fail in Elk Grove Village, IL

Romney's fail in Elk Grove Village, IL

by MaryIllinois

I was watching Rmoney on the local Chicago ABC affiliate news last night railing against all failed Obama efforts to grow the economy, when the reporter noted that the owner of this manufacturing firm was a Rmoney supporter but admitted that his sales have grown 80% in the last year and he has hired new workers.

Above the din inside the Acme Industries precision parts factory, Romney repeated his claim that after three-and-a-half years of 8 percent-plus unemployment, President Obama's economic policies are not working.

"The median income of an American family is down $4,000 a year since President Obama has been president," said Romney.

Even so, Acme Industries CEO Warren Young, an ardent Romney supporter, reports the company's sales increased 80 percent in the past year, and the factory has hired new workers.

"I think that's an indication that the Obama policies are working rather than the opposite," said Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston).

You know, that failed Obama economy on small business right?

First diary so apologies in advance for any errors!
