PALM BEACH, Fla. – U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., believes Barack Obama is an incompetent president leading America into a "significantly worse" situation in every measurable regard.


Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.

Making an appearance this afternoon on Rush Limbaugh's top-rated radio program, Rubio flayed Obama's quest for another term after a dismal performance thus far.

"He wants a four-year extension to his contract to be president of the United States. So we have to measure him," Rubio explained.

"And how do we measure him? Unemployment is significantly higher than when he took over. What about the value of people's homes? The value of people's homes are down. How about the national debt? The national debt is up, significantly higher with no solution in sight and none offered by him. By every measure that you can measure a president by, things have gotten worse, and significantly worse."

Rubio indicated Obama and members of his administration have a flawed ideology "that takes us away from the things that have made America exceptional."

But he also said Obama simply cannot handle the job of being president.

"Part of it is, quite frankly, incompetence," Rubio said.

"I honestly believe – and I don't say this with any disrespect, I really don't know him, I have nothing personal against him – but I honestly think there's a lack of competence in terms of being able to do the job and the inability to lead on some of these critical issues. And the result is being paid by millions of Americans who can't find a job or are working twice as hard to make half as much, who see their country being bankrupted and no serious solutions being offered."
