President Obama Hits the Road

President Obama is making stops in Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa, bus riding from state to state over the next few days to talk with local people about the economy. The White House is framing it as a chance to speak with constituents directly and “restore confidence” in the future. Of course, the RNC thinks this is wrong.

“Amid 9.1% unemployment and the fallout of the nation’s first credit downgrade, a taxpayer-funded PR junket is the last thing Americans need out of this president,” party chairman Reince Priebus said.
