NYGOP Encourages New Yorkers to "Meet Barack Obama”

Statement from Chairman Joseph N. Mondello, New York Republican State Committee Chairman

ALBANY, NY (06/10/2008; 1315)(readMedia)-- The Democrats’ divisive primary has finally concluded and the public knows little about Barack Obama other than his lack of experience and questionable judgment.

Throughout the primary process, Senator Obama spent his time giving speeches that were heavy on vague generalities and light on specific proposals to make things better for New Yorkers and Americans.

The little we know about Barack Obama— including his questionable judgment in associating with Reverend Wright, Weatherman bomber William Ayers and convicted felon Tony Resko, his lack of foreign policy experience during a time when our nation is at war and his willingness to take more money from the public to support growing government programs– demonstrate that he is not the right person to be President during the challenging times we face.

In an effort to help New Yorkers better understand Barack Obama and his shortcomings, we are posting “Meet Barack Obama” information on our website. The more you learn about Barack Obama, the more you worry about what he would do as President. -30-
