UDALL MARKS 100 DAYS OF PROGRESS

Senator Applauds President Obama for Igniting Change in America

U.S. Senator Tom Udall, D-N.M., today released the following statement marking 100 days since President Barack Obama took office.

"The Obama Administration and the 111th Congress have hit the ground running. We have begun making unprecedented investments in alternative sources of energy and conservation. On health care, we have begun the effort to cover every American man, woman and child. We have made significant progress to create or save millions of jobs across the country. And with today's budget resolution, we are on a path to reverse eight years of fiscal irresponsibility by cutting the federal deficit in half in four years.

"The problems created by the previous eight years of mismanagement and neglect cannot be solved in 100 days. But this president and this Congress are in it for the long haul. President Obama has laid out plans that are bold enough to address the massive challenges we face and turn them into the opportunities they represent. Our task now is to make those plans a reality."
