Chairman Sessions Responds to President Obama’s State of the Union Address

National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) released the following statement in response to President Obama’s State of the Union address:

“President Obama may have offered a change in tone, but it’s still unclear when he will offer the change in his policies that voters asked for on Election Day. Americans ended the Democrats’ one-party rule in Washington because they want a government accountable to the people. Unfortunately, the American people heard President Obama call for even more government spending under his familiar sales pitch for innovation and job creation.

“Now two years into his presidency, President Obama has the opportunity to turn his rhetoric into reality by rolling up his sleeves and working with the new Republican Majority to deliver the smaller government, lower taxes, and real job growth that American voters are demanding. It’s past time for President Obama to replace his failed economic policies with common-sense solutions that the American people actually support.”
