Citing 82% Hike in Miami Gas Prices, Sharon Day 'Welcomes' Obama to Town

Republican National Committee Co-Chair Sharon Day "welcomed" Barack Obama to South Florida Thursday with the following statement:

President Obama promised to be a leader on energy policy when he was campaigning in 2008, but gas prices have skyrocketed since hes been in office, with most Floridians paying well above the national average.

"Whether its gas prices or the economy, President Obama has repeatedly failed to keep the promises he made to voters in 2008 and we are all paying because he hasnt lived up to them.

"Its clear from President Obamas focus on campaigning in Florida today -- at both fundraising andphoto-op events -- that hes more concerned about spending taxpayer dollars on his campaign trips than he is with saving American jobs or reducing prices at the pump.
