RNC Chairman Priebus Statement on President Obama’s Latest ‘Pivot’ to Jobs Speech
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement in response to President Obama’s latest ‘pivot’ to jobs speech: “In tonight’s address to Congress, President Obama yet again chose style over substance, leaving the 14 million unemployed Americans still waiting for reliable leadership that will get America working again. “Instead of [...]
ICYMI: Highlights From Conference Call With RNC Chairman Priebus & Former CBO Director Holtz-Eakin
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus: “This hardly merited a nationally televised address to a joint session of Congress. More speeches, more words and more hot air from this president is not what America is looking for. “If Obama’s past speeches are any indication, tonight’s will fall short. Time and time again, Obama’s speeches have offered little [...]

Last Night, President Obama Sowed the Seeds of His Own Destruction
Consider, objectively, some of the points of Barack Obama’s plan. He wants to extend unemployment benefits again. He wants to extend a payroll tax holiday. He wants to give tax credits to small businesses to hire people. He wants more government pork for more roads and bridges. These are all things Republicans have gone along [...]

The Democratic Wipeout in Louisiana is of Biblical Proportions
Huey Long must be turning over in his grave. Qualifying closed today for Louisiana’s Fall 2011 statewide elections, and the once super-dominant Democratic Party has failed to field a single credible candidate for statewide office. Not a single one. Louisiana’s citizens have common sense. They understand that the policies favored by Washington Dems (on energy [...]
Obama’s Fuzzy Stimulus Math
Let’s forget the fact that Obama’s entire Stimulus 10.0 is a counterintuitive proposal that doubles down on the very failures that precipitated this speech. Let’s also disregard the fact that enshrining unemployment insurance as a permanent handout will perpetuate unemployment. And more union-induced, short-term money drops on infrastructure will do nothing but stimulate traffic jams. [...]

Romney Never Met A Flip He Couldn’t Flop
Last night in the debate, Mitt Romney went after Rick Perry over Perry’s characterization of Social Security as a Ponzi Scheme. I happen to agree with Perry. The payroll taxes of currently employed workers are used to pay beneficiaries and even the Social Security Actuary agrees that the current model is not sustainable more than [...]
The Obligatory Word Cloud For Tired Old Rhetoric
This speech sounds pretty much exactly like all his other failed speeches. Pretty much every job he talks about, just like in 2009, 2010, and 2011 are government jobs or jobs dependent on government. The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: to put more people back to work and more money in the [...]
