Asserts the conservative adviser to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign: "The statistics are staggering. The unemployment rate among black Americans rose in October to 14.3 percent.
For the 18- to 29-year-old demographic, the unemployment rate is even
higher: 21.4 percent. That's astonishing, and it doesn't even tell the
whole story. Hundreds of thousands of young black men and women have given up
looking for work altogether and, thus, are not included in the
statistics."
She continues: "We must take a long, hard look at this problem, and we must take a
long hard look at President Obama. The promise of four years ago has
faded, and so have our hopes. We must ask ourselves a question: If we
give President Obama our votes again, why should we think anything will
change? President Obama has his heart in the right place, but his policies
simply have not worked for the country, and those failures have fallen
particularly hard on the black community. If we want a change, if we
want a better future, then we must seriously consider voting for Mitt
Romney."
More: "I know that is not a popular suggestion, but Mitt Romney's plan is
one that can really make a difference. He has proposed education reforms
that will benefit children in poor areas by giving them an opportunity
to attend good-quality schools. He will reform regulations and cut red
tape that is burdening the small businesses that so many black Americans
depend upon for employment. And he'll bring down the cost of energy by
taking advantage of natural resources in this country."
