Congressman Bucshon’s Statement on SOTU

(WASHINGTON, DC) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. released the following statement after President Obama’s last State of the Union address to the nation:

“Tonight, the American people didn’t hear anything new from a president who desperately wants to secure his legacy and help his party in 2016. His address was more like a campaign speech to convince us that if we just stay the course, his failed policies will actually start working. Unfortunately the facts tell a different story. Peddling politics of division and envy won’t turn the economy around and ignoring the threats we face throughout the world won’t defeat our enemies and keeps Americans safe at home or abroad.

“In contrast, the American people heard a positive vision for the future during the Republican response. Our agenda promotes upward mobility and economic opportunity. Our agenda envisions a strong America that leads, protects our people, and supports our allies. Our agenda will empower the American people and protect their Constitutional rights.”
