RPOF: Obama and Charlie Crist 'Birds of a Feather' on Debt

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) continues to try to link President Barack Obama with former Gov. Charlie Crist. Despite spending most of his political career as a Republican, Crist is now the favorite for the Democratic nomination to challenge Gov. Rick Scott in November. Looking to win over his new party, Crist has been bringing on members of Obamas campaign team in recent weeks including naming Jim Messina as a campaign adviser last week.

"Birds of a feather flock together, said Lenny Curry, the chairman of the RPOF, on Tuesday. And when it comes to debt, both Barack Obama and Charlie Crist are the undisputed debt kings during their respective administrations. While Obama has racked up record deficits, Charlie brought Florida's state debt to record highs, both recklessly passing off the cost of that debt to future generations. Florida can't afford a governor who declares that he'll be just like Barack Obama."
