RNC Chair Reince Priebus Responds to DNC; Says Democrats Are "Living in a Fantasy Land"
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus responded to DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s defense job growth on Fox News Sunday. He told today's host, John Roberts, “I don’t know if she’s on vacation in New Hampshire or on Mars … The fact of the matter is people are not better off today than they were three years or four years ago.”
Priebus said, “If Debbie and President Obama were good on their promises on the stimulus – remember they said if we pass this stimulus that we’d have 5.5 percent unemployment today
… They’re living in fantasy land and you know what, we’re going to put this dream to an end of theirs in November, save America, fire Barack Obama and hire Mitt Romney, that’s the best stimulus plan for the country right now.”

Roberts brought up the argument over whether the upcoming election will be about President Obama or about how Mitt Romney’s policies will be different. Speaker John Boehner said at a fundraiser in West Virginia recently, “I’ll tell you this: 95 percent of the people that show up to vote in November are going to show up in that voting booth, and they are going to vote for or against Barack Obama. Mitt Romney has some friends, relatives and fellow Mormons … some people that are going to vote for him. But that’s not what this election is about. This election is going to be a referendum on the president’s failed economic policies.”

Priebus retorted that the people will be faced with answering two questions, "Has this president lived and fulfilled the mission that he promised this country, has he performed his job up to the standards that we’ve all expected and that he promised he would perform? … The next question is, have the Republicans put up an intelligent articulate alternative to this president that can fix the problem?”
