By Geneva Sands - 09/08/11 09:52 PM ET

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said his biggest concern about President Obamas jobs proposal is that most of it wont work. 

My problem with this is quite frankly a lot of it just wont work,” Rubio said Thursday in his Web response to Obama’s jobs speechA lot of this sounds like things weve already tried. You know, more government spending.

He called for regulatory and tax reform, saying that is the best way to create confidence and get businesses to hire.

There are things in there that are good, but by in large its a proposal based on things that just wont work. [They] havent worked in the past and wont work in the future, Rubio said.

Rubio also posted his video statement in Spanish.
