Two years ago today, President Obama signed into law a “stimulus package” that his administration promised would keep unemployment under 8 percent. What has been the result of nearly $1 trillion spent on the so-called “stimulus?” Twenty-one months of unemployment at or above 9 percent, 2.6 million jobs lost, unsustainable budget deficits and an ever-growing national debt.
Americans rejected the Democrats’ reckless tax and spend policies last November. Despite this “shellacking,” Mr. Obama‘s proposed budget ignores the will of the American people and reflects a complete lack of seriousness for our fiscal crisis.
In my capacity as the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, it is my job to help hold President Obama accountable for his lack of leadership.
Looking at the president’s fiscal 2012 budget, my job may have just gotten a little easier.

If I wanted an economist, I'd find one ~ this guy ain't one, and it's not his job.
No one should be surprised to find Preibus wasting his time. The Republican party faction he represents doesn't know how to win, how to be a winner, or how to go about setting things up to win.
Didn’t he come from Wisconsin where the GOP just swept into power? I admit I only know a little about him so far in terms of fundraising or organization, but his election track record seems pretty good. He didn’t seem to be the darling of the insiders during the RNC debates.
I may become a fan again if this he keeps this up!!
Naw, the next election campaign has already started. RNC needs the funds much sooner than normal.
Preibus and his crowd benefited from that ~ not from anything they did to engineer a victory.
Quote: “The RNC chairman would be better off about the business of raising the funds to remove the Obamistas from power.”
Oh please. They guy turned a blue state red and all you have to do is look up there today to see how crazy it is driving the democrats. This guy comes to the RNC with a proven track record of WINNING. But hey, he has been there for what, two months, lets run em out of there before we have any clue what kind of job he will do. I know, maybe we can get Michael Steele back.
I know that the RNC is not my favorite group to give money to, given its connection to some establishment types. Nonetheless, I will not simply knee jerk write it off for its past sins if the proper leadership turns it around and heads it into the right direction.

Good Lord how did my post get on here three times. Mods, please delete one.
Winning wasn't considered a valid reason for thinking of Steele as anything other than a party appratchik, so it sure shouldn't be considered special when it comes to Preibus.
You guys got to get over this ~ the RNC chairman has a job to do and it's not that of being the leader of Republican party ideological theory. He's a fund raiser. He's a budgeteer.
It's his job to go get the money even if from wealthy lesbians in Beverly Hills.
Are you better off now than you were two years ago?
