WASHINGTON-- Nothing is off limits, not even President Barack Obama crooning a few bars of "Sweet Home Chicago."
As Obama hits Miami in the battleground state of Florida for an economics speech and fund-raising on Thursday, the Republican National Committee slams him on the rise of gas prices in a video targeted to a Miami audience.

The RNC video uses Obama singing a bit of "Sweet Home Chicago" at the White House Blues Night on Tuesday, taking a clip of that and morphing it into "Obama's Got America Singin' the Blues."
