WASHINGTON — Republican Party chairman Michael Steele likened President Barack Obama’s popularity to that of a celebrity and said Republicans can’t be afraid of criticizing him head-on if they want to regain their relevance.
“He’s young. He’s cool. He’s hip. . . . He’s got all the qualities America likes in a celebrity, so of course he’s going to be popular,” Steele told state party chairmen Tuesday. “(But) this is not ‘American Idol.’ This is serious . . . and we are going to take them on.”
