RNC chair Reince Priebus: Obama hasn't followed through on promises (CBS News) Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus was on the attack against President Obama on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday, calling out the president as someone who is "in love with the sound of his own voice" but who hasn't followed through on his promises. He made promises to the American people. He made a promise on the debt, the deficit, jobs, lobbyists, green energy, gasoline... he was the promise king," Priebus told anchor Bob Schieffer. And he hasn't followed through on any of it, and he went the opposite direction.... People are looking for real, authentic people in this country to keep their word and this president can't do it. In the interview, Priebus also defended recent campaign moves by Mr. Obama's Republican challenger, presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, including the candidate's appearance with reporters at Solyndra, the solar power company that went bankrupt after receiving federal loan guarantees. "Solyndra is a serious thing," Priebus said. And I think highlighting Solyndra, highlighting this president's foray into venture capitalism, using taxpayer money to send to Solyndra of which the directors were donor to President Obama... This is political cronyism in its worst form. Obama, Romney launch new attacks on each other Fact check: Romney misses mark on Solyndra claim Priebus also attacked the Obama campaign for a press conference at the Massachusetts State House on Thursday, in which Obama senior campaign strategist David Axelrod assailed Romney's record as governor of the state. Supporters and staffers from Romney's campaign (which is based in Boston), showed up to the event in an attempt to drown-out Axelrod. Romney supporters drown out David Axelrod at Boston press conference Axelrod, who also appeared on "Face the Nation," defended the press conference and the Obama campaign's message. "We went up there to make a point about Governor Romney's economic record," Axelrod said. "I was disappointed that they chose to send a bunch of campaign staff to try and drown out the speakers," Axelrod said.
