But Back In Washington Brown Has Been A Rubber Stamp For Obama’s Failed Agenda
Today, President Barack Obama returns to Ohio, but one person missing from his entourage is Cleveland’s own Sherrod Brown, who has been a strong supporter of Obama’s tax-and-spend agenda.
Brown began the Obama Presidency by supporting his failed $825 billion stimulus – which he promised would repair the Brent Spence Bridge down in Cincinnati – and was a fierce supporter of Obama’s $2.5 trillion healthcare bill.
That’s not all, Brown, who once campaigned as a deficit hawk, broke his campaign promise for Obama’s massive spending spree by voting to increase the debt ceiling and he was literally one of the first supporters of his second $450 billion stimulus.
“As President Obama travels to Cleveland, Ohioans will always remember that whether it was his support of the failed $825 billion stimulus or his crucial vote for ObamaCare, Sherrod Brown has always been at Barack Obama’s side in Washington,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “With nearly 500,000 unemployed Ohioans it’s clear the Buckeye State can no longer afford Barack Obama and Sherrod Brown’s job-killing, tax-and-spend agenda.”
