Artur Davis: "The Lack Of Jobs, The Unsustainable Government Debt & Spending, & President Obama's Divisive Leadership Drove Me To The Republican Side"

The moderate Democrat-turned-Republican and former U.S. Congressman — who co-chaired Barack Obama's presidential campaign in 2008 — pens an op-ed for the Orlando Sentinel: "It has been 43 months since the unemployment rate was below 8 percent, and the job-creation record in this administration is so lackluster that it is not even close to the performance we need to match the natural growth of the labor market."

He continues his commentary about the troubled U.S. economy: "The Obama campaign calls these data 'Republican talking points,' as if they were fiction and not the hard account of lost aspirations in many American homes. The Obama campaign shows the same indifference on the lingering impact of the national debt and untrammeled deficit spending."

More: "The other central case against the president is that in a reversal of the whole rationale for his candidacy, Obama has governed in a hopelessly divisive manner: a health-care overhaul that was deeply unpopular and that was rammed through on a pure party-line vote; an odd dismissiveness toward entrepreneurship; and his party's strident tendency to demonize the motives of his opposition."
