RNC CHAIRMAN PRIEBUS STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S VISIT TO MICHIGAN

WASHINGTON: Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement today regarding President Obama’s visit to Marquette, MI:

“Over the past few weeks, the President has spoken repeatedly of his renewed interest in spending more money and increasing the deficit. We had this same debate two years ago when the President’s stimulus plan was supposed to create much-needed jobs. Now we are having the same conversation as unemployment remains much higher than Obama promised his last spending binge would allow. Spending hand over fist didn’t work then and it won’t work now. What the President needs to do is have a serious discussion with the American people about the fiscal peril that looms on the horizon and the need to cut spending and create a pro-growth environment in this country. It is beyond time for President Obama to start showing the necessary Presidential leadership to get our fiscal house in order.”
