RNC Chairman Reince Priebus State of the Union Response
“Tonight, President Obama delivered his State of the Union address. The speech was new, but it seems like we’ve heard it all before. Promises to create jobs. To fix the economy. To do things differently. “For three years, the president has made promise after promise. And more often than not, he’s broken those promises. Barack Obama has treated his presidency like [...]
Highlights from Conf. Call W/ RNC Chairman Priebus & RNC Communications Director Sean Spicer
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus: “The RNC launched a television ad entitled, ‘State of Our Union.’ We did this obviously on the heels of the president’s State of the Union address tonight…the ad will air in DC, North Carolina, Virginia and Michigan. These are, aside from DC, obviously, states that Barack Obama has to win in order [...]
ICYMI: Chairman Priebus: “SOTU or Campaign Speech?”
Excerpts from POLITICO By Reince Priebus January 24, 2012 “The congressional podium is not a campaign stump. But don’t expect President Barack Obama to appreciate that distinction at Tuesday’s State of the Union Address… “The Obama White House and the Obama campaign have become almost indistinguishable. One crafts political slogans, makes empty promises and [...]
RNC Launches TV Ad On The State Of Our Union Under Obama
WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) launched a new television ad “State of Our Union” to coincide with President Obama’s State of the Union address tonight. The ad displays the nation’s economic struggles—13 million unemployed and 49 million in poverty—that are a direct result of Barack Obama’s failed leadership. It is being aired in [...]
Energy: Dejà Vu at the SOTU
We’ve heard it all before, except now the message has been repackaged to deal with the evolving reality in the Energy Sector. In “fossil fuels”, we have two big success stories: the Shale Revolution and the continued success of domestic oil development. What we didn’t hear much about was rebuilding the economy based on Green [...]
Audacity of Hypocrisy: The Essence of Obama’s SOTU
One of the most salient messages from Obama’s State of the Union Address is that he is unwilling to take responsibility for any of his failures. Instead, he took credit for successful policies that he opposed, and ascribed blame on others for failed policies that he supported. Here is just a partial list of some [...]
We’re Fighting Over Two Guys and Neither Side Thinks the Other Can Win
I am a firm believer that primaries make stronger candidates. But at some point you just have to stand back, take a sip of bourbon, and sigh “Damn” under your breath as you behold the carnage being wrought within the Republican Party. The fight has gotten so bitter and acrimonious with only three states chosen [...]
Conservatives, Gingrich, and Grace
With Speaker Gingrich having won South Carolina, and now polling ahead of Gov. Romney in Florida and nationally, there is one question that keeps popping up. What is it about Newt Gingrich that conservatives voters find appealing? Rush Limbaugh has at least part of the answer: To those of you in the Republican base, this [...]
1,000 Days
Today is the 1,000th day since the Senate passed a budget. That’s a long time. Heritage has put a video together to give some perspective on just how long: The entire Lewis & Clark Expedition? Wow. To mark the occasion, House Republicans will be wearing red “1000 Days” buttons for tonight’s State of the Union [...]
RS Interview: Michael Williams (R CAND, TX-…25?)
Sorry about the sound quality: we’re in the middle of a solar storm today, remember? At any rate, I talked this afternoon with Michael Williams, who is running in TX-25, assuming of course that the courts d0n’t decide to fold up the new Congressional maps for Texas into a variety of paper airplanes and fly [...]
