August 31, 2011 View This Release At GOP.com RNC Chairman Priebus Statement on President Obama’s Politically Motivated “Jobs” Speech WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement regarding the president’s politically motivated ‘jobs’ speech next Wednesday: “President Obama’s decision to address Congress at the same time as a long-scheduled Republican Presidential debate cements his reputation as Campaigner-in-Chief. While the White House claims it’s simply a ‘coincidence,’ the American people can see right through that excuse. The President has had months to get to work on the economy, but instead he chose to take a taxpayer-funded campaign trip and a cushy Martha’s Vineyard vacation. If the President were serious about putting ‘country before politics,’ as he said in his request to speak to Congress, he wouldn’t be caught in such a thinly-veiled political ploy. This is yet another reminder that the President is out of touch and out of ideas. The only job he seems to care about is his own.”    ### Paid For By The Republican National Committee 310 First Street S.E.
