Republicans Welcome Obama to the First Coast with Harsh Words

With President Barack Obama traveling to Jacksonville to give a speech on the economy on Thursday, Republicans from across Florida continue to welcome him to the First Coast with stinging words. The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) continues to throw jabs at Obama on the economy, launching the lastest attack on Wednesday which insists Obama is looking for a mulligan on the economy.

During a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday in which he called for defunding Obamas health care law, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., referenced the presidents trip to the First Coast.

Mr. President, as you travel around the country this week, as you come to Jacksonville, Fla., on Thursday, I hope you will also explain to the American people how it is that you can justify cutting hours, cutting benefits, and taking away existing health insurance and existing doctor-patient relationships, Rubio said. Away from millions of working-class and middle-class Americans who are going to be hurt by this law because of your refusal and the refusal of many of your allies to consider suspending this or permanently repealing it and replacing it with something better.
