House Republicans are attacking House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) in an effort to highlight increased spending under Democratic leaders.

The National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) said Thursday that it is making recorded phone calls in Wisconsin blaming Obey, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic policies for the high rate of unemployment in Wisconsin.

“Wisconsin is losing jobs, yet David Obey is focused on spending your money and carrying water for Nancy Pelosi's failed stimulus bill,” an announcer intones in the call.

“Dave Obey and Nancy Pelosi’s stimulus bill adds nearly a trillion dollars to the deficit -- at a time when Wisconsin families are hurting.”
