RNC Chair: Obama Is Like Costa Concordia Captain

Says the president is abandoning America.

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus predicts that his party's candidates will eventually set aside their differences and come together to defeat President Obama in November. After all, he explained in CBS's 'Face the Nation,' Obama is "fleeing the American people" not unlike a certain now-famous cruise ship captain. "In a few months this is all going to be ancient history and we're going to talk about our own little Captain Schettino, which is President Obama who's abandoning the ship here in the United States and is more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president." Priebus' democratic counterpart has since reacted to the comparison, calling the Republican leader's words "inscendiary" and "unbelievable."
