“Our thoughts and prayers are with the
victims of this terrible tragedy and with their families. We are shocked by
these senseless acts, and we cannot imagine the pain and grief of the victims’
families and across Colorado. We pray for comfort for the grieving and healing
for the wounded. Our hearts break for all those whose lives have been shaken by
these unthinkable events.”– RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.
WASHINGTON - Republican National
Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on the
Supreme Court's decision on the Arizona immigration law:
"Once again we are reminded that
President Obama has failed to keep his promise on immigration reform. In the
absence of presidential leadership, states have acted on their own to serve
their people and enforce the law, but the issue cannot fully be resolved with a
president unwilling to keep his promises. This decision makes that job even
more difficult, and it leaves Americans waiting for a plan the president
promised to deliver years ago," said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.
WASHINGTON - Republican National
Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement on
Attorney General Holder's refusal to comply with the House investigation into
the Fast and Furious scandal:
"Fast and Furious was a failed
operation that resulted in tragedy, and Americans are right to demand answers
from Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration," said RNC
Chairman Reince Priebus.
"This administration promised to be
the most transparent in history, but they have clearly failed to live up to
that promise. President Obama criticized other presidents for invoking
executive privilege, but now that it serves his political purposes he's doing
the same to protect his Attorney General. That's certainly not transparency.
It's hypocrisy, and it rightly leaves Americans and the families affected by
Fast and Furious wondering what the administration is hiding."
WASHINGTON - The Republican National
Committee (RNC) is out with a new web video "Mulligan" drawing
attention to President Obama's failure to live up to the promises he made for
himself to turn the economy around. Back in 2009, he said that if he doesn't
have it done in three years, it would be a one term proposition. Three years
later, things aren't turned around and President Obama is trying to take a
mulligan.
Web video can be viewed here.
"President Obama couldn't live up
to the standards he set for himself, so he's trying to take a mulligan saying
all he needs is 'more time'," said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. "But
we've already had close to four years of big government liberalism resulting in
bloated stimulus spending, ObamaCare and out of control regulation that is
stifling job creators at every turn.
"He keeps hooking left, and it
isn't working for the American economy. We've seen this game before and
Americans can't afford to give President Obama another shot."
WASHINGTON - The Republican National
Committee (RNC) is out with a new web video "Worst Week Ever?" that
summarizes a rough week for President Obama's reelection. After doubling-down
on attacking the free market and Mitt Romney's business record, Barack Obama
and his campaign team hit a brick wall when Democrat after Democrat started
coming out against their tactics. He also found out on Tuesday that
"uncommitted" can be a tough primary challenger. President Obama had
a bad case of the Mondays-every day this week.
"Barack Obama had a rough week as
his attacks on the free market and Governor Romney's business record were
repeatedly denounced by his fellow Democrats who found them offensive,"
said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. "It seems that everyone other than him
understands the important role of private sector job creators. We can't be too
surprised by this president's anti-business rhetoric after watching him spend
three and a half years making it harder for job creators. After getting rebuked
in Tuesday's primaries, on top of almost losing to a convict the week prior,
it's clear their message just isn't working."
WASHINGTON – The Republican National
Committee (RNC) released “Fired Up! Ready to Go! Uncommitted!” buttons for
President Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. In light of his narrow win over
‘uncommitted’ last night in the Kentucky primary, these will be perfect gifts
for all of his supporters.
President Obama had a run for his money
last night against ‘uncommitted’ in the Kentucky primary,” said RNC Chairman
Reince Priebus. “After three and a half years of failed policies and broken
promises, it’s no wonder nearly 40% of Democrats looked at the ballot and voted
against Barack Obama. After a tough primary in West Virginia recently against a
convict, the president’s reelection support among his own party is looking
dire.”
