Chairman Priebus: “Obama Has Given Up On Doing His Job”

Excerpts from Fox News
By Reince Priebus
January 22, 2012
 
“The Oval Office must be a quiet place these days.
“Trying desperately to save his job, Barack Obama has given up on actually doing his job. He’s courting wealthy donors for campaign cash. He’s crisscrossing the country rallying disaffected voters. And he’s running disingenuous ads in five battleground states.   
“He’s out busily trying to secure a second term, while Americans are still waiting for him to deliver on the promises of his first. Yet judging by the president’s schedule, we shouldn’t get our hopes up.       
“Obama is in full-time campaign mode…
“This week the president sets off on a three-day campaign jaunt through five different states. Last week he held four Manhattan fundraisers and took a trip to Disney World…
“They have no record to run on. A record of success in jobs and the economy would be easy to champion. But when you have a record of failure, half-truths are the best you can do…   
“The president has broken his promises to the American people…
“Obama promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. Instead, he racked up three record deficits of more than $1 trillion each.     
“He promised he could create thousands of jobs with green energy spending…he lost a $535 million taxpayer-funded loan to the now-bankrupt company Solyndra.
“With his $825 billion stimulus, Obama promised unemployment would stay below 8 percent. Not only did unemployment shoot past 8 percent, it hasn’t come back to that level since.   
“Then there’s the biggest promise… the economy…Obama was so confident he could turn around the economy that he promised…that if he didn’t have it fixed in ‘three years’ then his presidency would ‘be a one-term proposition.’…
“In October of last year, President Obama unveiled the slogan ‘We Can’t Wait.’ It was par for the course for a White House that regularly substitutes sloganeering for policymaking…Three months later, we’re still waiting. We’re still waiting for a plan to revive the economy, a plan to reduce the debt, a workable, reasonable, bipartisan plan to keep any one of Obama’s many promises.  
“But if this week is any indication, we’re going to be waiting a lot longer.”
