Today, New York GOP Chairman Ed Cox released the following stattement:
“Once again, we’re happy to welcome President Obama back to New York State, where our unemployment rate (9.1%) is a full point above the national average.
America and the world are in crisis: unemployment is still high, our national debt has topped $16 trillion, our embassies are burning and Iran is closer than ever to becoming a nuclear nation.
Against this backdrop, Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu asked Barack Obama for a meeting.
Obama turned down the request from the leader of America’s closes ally in the Middle East.
Instead, the President of the United States will be hobnobbing with Jay-Z and Beyonce at a $40,000-per-person, 100-person fundraiser at the swank 40/40 Club – that’s a cash haul of $4 million for the President.
Put another way, Obama will leave New York with $4.68 for every one of our state’s unemployed workers.
America needs a President more interested in the status of our allies abroad and our unemployed at home than in partying with celebrities: America needs Mitt Romney in the White House.”
