The RNC On President Obama’s Unpatriotic Debt

During a campaign event four years ago, then candidate Obama said that President Bush adding $4 trillion to the debt was “irresponsible” and “unpatriotic.” During just three years President Obama has racked up over $5 trillion in debt, more than any other President. “President Obama has done nothing to offer solutions or make the tough choices to correct America’s major economic problems. Instead, he has only sent the country on an unsustainable path by adding to the national debt and producing four budgets with deficits in excess of $1 trillion. We simply cannot afford four more years of the promise gap of his first term,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “This November, voters will hear his past promises to America and see that he can hardly call his actions of Big Government spending as patriotic. Governor Romney knows what it takes to balance a budget and control government spending. As president, he will provide America with the leadership and fiscal responsibility that will fix America’s debt and deficit problem and put the country back on the right path.”
