RNC Chairman Reince Priebus argued that Obama has a “glass half empty” view of America in his speech at the Republican National Convention Tuesday night. The Republican Party, Priebus said, is the party of the American Dream.

“And adding insult to injury he actually attacks success,” Priebus said of Obama. “This president looks down on American free enterprise. As Speaker Boehner just said, the president said, ‘If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.’ Yeah, we do build it, right? That makes me think, that makes me think that Barack Obama has a problem with the American Dream.”

Priebus said Republicans represent “the party that believes in the American Dream and wants all our children to have a chance to succeed.”
