Tennessee GOP suggests Obama learn from state during visit

James Crichlow

President Barack Obama will visit an Amazon.com distribution facility Tuesday in Chattanooga.

The Tennessee Republican Party is airing a commercial in Chattanooga to "welcome" President Barack Obama to his visit today to an Amazon distribution center, Knoxville News Sentinel reports.

The ad declares Tennessee's success is "not because of your liberal policies, but in spite of them."

"Unlike Washington, we've got the lowest debt of any state in the nation," a narrator declares in the ad. "Maybe you can learn a thing or two while you're here, Mr. President."

The Tennessee Democratic Party issued a press release in response to the ad noting that Tennessee's unemployment rate of 8.5 percent is almost a percentage point above the national average, laying blame on Gov. Bill Haslam and Republican lawmakers.

During his tour of the Amazon facility ? which is part of Amazon's new push to add thousands of new jobs ? Obama is to tout plans to boost the middle class.
