Chairman Steele's Statement on Obama Administration Stimulus Progress Report

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele today released the following statement on the Obama administration’s stimulus progress report.

“In the Obama administration the word ‘report’ must be code for ‘PR.’ One hundred days after spending $787 billion of the taxpayers’ money, President Obama is touting a second progress ‘report’ on the stimulus bill to convince voters his reckless spending plan is working. Let’s be clear: 100 projects, nearly $1 trillion spent, and 1 million jobs lost doesn’t sound like progress to me. The Obama administration may believe its own spin, but American families want jobs and to keep more of what they earn, not another ‘report,’” said Chairman Michael Steele.
