CA-Sen: Carly Fiorina Launches New Statewide Television Ad – “Buck”

I was waiting for this Fred Davis Ad pointing out the failure of Barbara Boxer, Obama’s economic policies and the sad state of California.

From the press release:

STEPHANIE: “Yet, Boxer says the stimulus is working?”

• Boxer: “The Stimulus Bill Was Very Successful.” “I also wanted to inform colleagues and this is very good news for us that AASHTO which is the group that represents the State Highway and Transportation folks that we work with so closely at home, they’ve released a new report today, Senators. They are basically saying that the stimulus bill was very successful, that it created hundreds of thousands of jobs. They have it actually summarized here, and all the various projects.” (Sen. Barbara Boxer, U.S. Senate, Committee On Environment And Public Works, 2/9/10)

• California Has Lost 573,000 Nonfarm Payroll Jobs Since The Stimulus Passed In February 2009.(U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics Website, data.bls.gov, Accessed 9/24/10)

CARLY FIORINA: “We can make Washington work. Cut spending. Ban earmarks. But Washington won’t change unless you vote to change the people we send there.”

Note the faces of every day ordinary Californians who are saying that Barbara Boxer and Obama’s Economic Stimulus has failed.

Guess that is why Obama is returning to Los Angeles in about ten days to campaign AGAIN for Senator Boxer. The White House is worried about this seat – and they should be.
