DescriptionReince Priebus, the chair of the Republican National Committee, may have walked the rhetorical plank when he compared President Obama to the heavily criticized Italian captain who guided his cruise ship into the rocks.

Both the former RNC chair, Michael Steele, and the current Democratic National Committee chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, have criticized Priebus for making the analogy.

The now-notorious Italian captain allegedly left his sinking ship before the passengers when the ship tried to maneuver through shallow waters off the coast of Italy and started to sink. More than a dozen passengers died.

According to Priebus, that is what Obama is doing to the United States right now.
