It should come as no surprise that Vice President Biden will be campaigning for Rep. John Spratt in the Palmetto State. Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked Budget Chairman has served as nothing but a ‘yes man’ to the liberal, big-government Obama-Pelosi agenda, and now the Vice President is trying to return the favor.

Vice President Biden’s visit will only serve as a reminder to South Carolina voters that despite the negative ramifications of the Obama Administration’s tax-spend-and-borrow agenda on their state, Rep. Spratt has voted in favor of every major piece of legislation that the Democrats in Washington have put forth.  Rep. Spratt supported the failed $862 billion stimulus, the job-killing national energy tax, and ObamaCare, just to name a few. What does this mean for South Carolinians? 15,100 jobs lost, an unemployment rate that still stands at an unacceptable 10.7%, and an extensive government takeover of health care that raises rates, raises taxes, and cuts Medicare.

Come November, We Win, They Lose

Posted by: Chairman Michael Steele

Over the past few weeks, I have had the pleasure of visiting and launching several of our Victory Centers across the country.  I'm very excited to be a part of this important effort and to help get the drumbeat rolling towards November.

Our very first launch was in Colorado and just this week we announced partnerships with the Maine and Oklahoma state GOP parties as part of our “Delaware to Hawaii” Victory campaign (D2H).  These are efforts not just to rebuild, but to continue to build on our recent successes.

In 2009, for example, in the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, we hit unprecedented levels of voter contact. 5.8 million contacts were made by our Party and voters were asked to get involved, help us with the work that needed to be done, and participate in this renaissance for the GOP.  With your support, we clocked in 165,000 volunteer hours – triple what we did in the presidential campaign just the year before.

That's the power and galvanizing force that ... more

Obama’s Stimulus Fantasy

Posted by: Chairman Michael Steele

Here we go again. We have heard countless statements and assertions from the White House over the past 17 months that the Stimulus Bill passed in February of last year is working. It’s time for the White House to stop this rhetorical fantasy and focus on the fact that its policies--Stimulus included--have failed to create jobs for out of work Americans.

Yesterday President Obama was in Michigan touting his Stimulus bill, but people across the state (and the rest of the country) don't need to look much further than the unemployment lines to see that the stimulus has failed miserably.  Whatever employment numbers Obama’s economic team may cook up or whatever photo-ops his staff sets up, the cold, hard facts remain: Obama Democrats want credit for “saving or creating” imaginary jobs because they don’t want to take responsibility for the real jobs they’ve lost.

So for the President and his job czars, here is a little dose of reality: The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that ... more

Golf or Gulf, Mr. President?

Posted by: Chairman Michael Steele

Yesterday, President Obama found himself on yet another golf course as oil continues to spew into the Gulf. President Obama’s frustrating tendency to hit the links rather than devote his undivided attention to providing a solution to the worst ecological disaster in American history represents an unacceptable lack of seriousness and focus. While communities along the Gulf Coast are reeling from the devastating economic and environmental impact of the ongoing spill, it is beyond offensive that this president would even think of scheduling a tee time. How much further out of touch can President Obama get?

As I've said before, until this problem is fixed, no more golf outings, no more baseball games, no more Beatle concerts, Mr. President.  The stakes are too high for President Obama's lackadaisical approach to both his responsibilities and the challenges we face.

Golf or Gulf? Which 5 of the President's leisure activities or missteps during this environmental ... more

Reid and Obama: Two of a Kind

Posted by: Chairman Michael Steele

President Obama is in to Las Vegas, Nevada to help rescue the reelection hopes of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.  It would be difficult to find two people who have dealt more blows to Nevada’s economy than President Obama and Harry Reid. As two of the most powerful politicians in Washington, this Democratic duo has schemed and forced their liberal agenda onto the people of Nevada, leading to 14% unemployment in the state, the highest in the nation. Nevadans will surely have a lot of questions for a President and Majority Leader who have sold them out in favor of promoting their failed far-left, tax and spend policies. Unfortunately, Harry Reid’s shameless devotion to President Obama’s job-killing agenda and his thirty year record of putting Washington first will do little to assuage their economic woes.
