Hudson Statement on President Obama's State of the Union Address

Statement

Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) issued the following statement in reaction to President Obama's State of the Union address.

"The American people cannot afford a doubling down of the past four year's failed policies like Obamacare," said Hudson. "Unfortunately, that's exactly what President Obama promised them tonight as he once again put politics over leadership by seeking to circumvent the Constitution in order to advance his big government agenda. His attempts to pit people against each other in order to score political points will do nothing to end the pain that so many Americans are suffering under the Obama economy.

"What the President doesn't seem to understand is that it's not our government that makes us great, but rather our people when they have the freedom and initiative of our free enterprise system to find work to provide for themselves and their families. Currently, over 170 House-passed bills to put people back to work are awaiting action in the Senate. President Obama should focus on finding common ground with conservatives on these initiatives to unleash American energy and get government out of the way to allow our nation's job creators to expand opportunity."
