RNC Chairman Says Republican Proposal For Race-Baiting Anti-Obama Attack Ads Is Obama’s Fault

In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley this morning, host Crowley asked RNC Chairman Reince Priebus about a widely-denounced proposal for a pro-Mitt Romney outside group to run millions of dollars in race-baiting attack ads highlighting controversial statement’s by President Obama’s former pastor.


Rather than denounce the proposal or the dangers of having a small group of rich outside donors and corporations free to spend as much as they want to influence elections, Priebus blamed Obama.

After lamenting that Romney and his party had to spend a day and a half dealing with the fallout from the Super PAC proposal, Priebus told Crowley:

I know how it works. It’s the Democrats and Barack Obama that want the story out there. He wants the story to play out in the media, because for every day that [Obama adviser] David Axelrod and this President don’t have to talk about their broken promises when it comes to jobs, the debt, and the deficit — the more time they can talk about hypotheticals that may or may not come true — is a day they want to win on. So, look, this president’s got a bigger problem and his problem is no matter what he puts out there, no matter what distractions he puts out there, he can’t change the truth and escape the reality of where we are in this American economy. And it’s no good.

6. ok so what you're saying is he fooled you twice?....

1. He fooled you the first time when he got elected even though he was a seperatist/secret Muslim/Un-citizen.
2. He's fooled you the second time when he "tricked" you into bringing up the fact that he is a separatist/secret muslim/Un-citizen, even though he isn't, which meant you couldn't use it in the campaign after all.

The real issue here is that you're all idiots, Skippy.

12. Oh, sure....

We really believe that the Democrats created that ad campaign, just to embarrass the GOP and divert attention from everything else.

Yeah, right.

[McCamy Taylor]

23. No matter what Pres Obama does, it causes the GOP to be RACISTS

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus virtually says that no matter what the president and Democrats do right, it's considered WRONG by the GOP. No matter how much the economy improves under Obama, it's still not good enough. What a bunch of BS!

[Mz Pip]

The guy must walk around looking in a mirror.

[Thinkingabout]

He even runs the RNC, now he needs to get that bunch straight on meaniful thoughts and then we would have a really strong nation. President Obama, don't fail us now.
