RNC Chairman Reince Priebus will head to Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Tuesday to “bracket” President Obama’s speech there by giving his own speech before the president, reports CNN. There, Priebus will debut a new website called ObamanomicsOutsourced.com — an attempt to push back against outsourcing attacks on Mitt Romney by showing examples of how Obama’s policies have led to job creation overseas as well. 

In a statement announcing his Iowa visit, Priebus called Obama the “outsourcer-in-chief,” the same phrase used against Mitt Romney in Obama campaign ads. From CNN: 

“President Obama has promised over and over that he would focus on creating ‘jobs that pay well and can’t be outsourced’ but his record speaks otherwise,” Priebus said. “The Outsourcer-In-Chief is going around the country touting his ‘jobs record,’ but the only positive record he has is creating jobs in faraway places like Finland and South Korea.”
