Tom Smith, a Republican candidate for senate in Pennsylvania, used this morning’s lousy jobs report to attack Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) by tying him directly to President Obama’s jobs record, reports the Morning Call:

“A stagnant economy is undesirable, a shrinking economy is absolutely unacceptable and the Washington politicians should be working around-the-clock to resolve this economic turmoil,” Smith said in statement. “I am disappointed the Obama-Casey agenda has placed our economy on the backburner, after their so-called $1 trillion taxpayer-funded ‘stimulus’ failed to keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent as promised. It is time Congress get serious about rolling back the job-killing regulations that have continued to stifle our recovery and stop their out-of-control spending habit.”
