The Republican National Committee is responding to Barack Obama’s final State of the Union Address by releasing this video, focusing on national security failures:
The web ad is titled, “The State Of Our Union Is Less Safe.”
“After seven years under President Obama, America has become less prosperous, less safe, and less free,” the chairman of the RNC, Reince Priebus, says in a statement. “Americans are reminded daily of this president’s failures and broken promises, whether it’s higher costs under ObamaCare, the continued decline of the middle class, or the increased threat posed by ISIS and radical Islamic terrorists. It’s no wonder the American people overwhelmingly say the country is on the wrong track and want to see their next president take a different direction. But rather than signal a much-needed course correction, the president took a lonely victory lap before a country that is ready to turn the page.
“The one thing the president made clear tonight is that the next ten months will be all about ensuring he is succeeded by Hillary Clinton, who gives his failed presidency an ‘A’ grade and wants to take his divisive, left-wing agenda to the next level. More taxes, more spending, more leading from behind, more Washington overreach, and more scandal – that is what Democrats are offering in this election. It’s clearer than ever that only a Republican president can tackle the big issues facing our country and restore faith in our government.
“President Obama was elected to the White House with voters demanding change, and fittingly, that is how he will leave.”
