Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. U.S. Representative Bill Flores (R-Texas) issued the following statement in response to the presidents State of the Union address:
If President Obama listened to hardworking Americans as much as he lectures them tonights State of the Union speech might have actually reflected reality. Instead the president took an unearned victory lap once again ignoring the true concerns and priorities of the American people.
Many Americans feel less secure and less satisfied with the direction of this country than they did when the president took office. In just the last year we have seen the rapid growth of a dangerous and evil terrorist state a devastating attack on one of our closest allies and terror-motivated attacks in U.S. cities. The presidents weak leadership and dismissive attitude have emboldened our geopolitical foes who in turn have filled the vacuum. Tonight the president praised his deal with Iran even while at that very moment 10 U.S. sailors were being held by the Iranian military. Such disconnect is unacceptable for our Commander-in-Chief.
President Obamas record is not much better here at home. American families have suffered under Obamacare the presidents signature legislative achievement. Rising out-of-pocket costs have made access to care unaffordable for many even after they purchase insurance plans mandated by law. Wages are stagnant meaning workers are paying more and making do with less. Today because of the presidents policies more Americans are living under poverty than ever before in the history of our nation. For the first time parents are worried that their children will not receive better opportunities than they did.
It is time to turn the page. It is time to deliver new solutions that do address the needs American families and taxpayers. House conservatives are crafting a bold agenda that will offer pro-growth policies and relief from Washingtons oppressive bureaucracy. I am confident we will introduce conservative common sense reforms that ensure the coming years are far brighter than the last.
