Republican Party of Wisconsin Response to President Obama's Visit to the Midwest

[Madison, Wis.] – Today, President Obama is visiting the Midwest, touting his so called plan to bring jobs back to everyday Americans. Yet months into his second term, the Obama Administration has failed to produce any solutions on turning our economy around.

“As the President visits the Midwest this week, he continues to do what he does best – giving speeches without actually offering a real plan to get our economy back on track. Instead, the national economy continues to see sluggish movement as he refuses to work with Republican leadership,” said Jesse Dougherty, Press Secretary of the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

As President Obama speaks at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, he can take comfort in visiting a state that aligns with his failed economic policy: massive deficits, large tax increases and staggering job loss.

Instead, the President should look to Wisconsin for solid economic leadership: A balanced budget, less spending and lower taxes across the board to help middle-class families, job creators and businesses.

“As we here in the Badger State continue to see job creation and economic growth under the leadership of Governor Scott Walker and Republicans, Obama continues to align with rhetoric over real results. The President could take a lesson from Wisconsin Republicans,” said Dougherty.
