RNC Chairman Reince Priebus argued that the drop in the unemployment rate does not vindicate President Obama’s economic record in an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.
“If you’re getting blown out in a football game but you’re scoring field goals once a quarter, I mean, you can’t point to the three points once a quarter and say, ‘hey, look, at least we’re scoring some points,'” Priebus said. “We’re still getting clobbered. And the fact of the matter is, this president and Joe Biden are getting clobbered on the policies the put in place. They promised we’d be a heck of a lot better off than we are today.”
On Friday, the unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent as more Americans entered the workforce.
