RR Special State of the Union Forum
Posted by Resurgent Republic on January 28th 2010 @ 8:01am

President Barack Obama delivered his first State of the Union address yesterday. The prime-time event provided an opportunity for the president to emerge from the self-described “buzz saw” that his Administration walked into during its first year, characterized by increasing opposition to health care reform, growing disapproval of his signature economic initiative, heightened national security concerns, three consecutive statewide political defeats — and ultimately the loss of Independent voters. Resurgent Republic Advisory Board Members George Allen, Gary Andres and Daron Shaw critique President Obama’s performance.

The Honorable George Allen, former Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee:

“If the president truly wants to invigorate job opportunities for Americans and make our nation safer, then he should get the Congress to:

1. Stop the pending tax increases. Indeed, reducing tax burdens will make America more competitive internationally.

2. Cut profligate spending and dangerous debt.

3. Create more jobs and affordable energy to power our country by unleashing the creative and clean use of our plentiful American coal, as well as oil and gas resources.

4. Empower families with personal, portable and quality health care choices rather than dictates, taxes and mandates.

5. Stop costly, counter-productive job-killing regulations emanating from their Environmental Protection Agency bureaucracy.

6. Embrace the principles of personal freedom and opportunity rather than dictates from and dependency on the federal government.

7. Focus on defeating vile terrorists rather than defending them.

Unfortunately for our fellow Americans, it appears that the president and the ruling majority in Congress remain disconnected from the real concerns and aspirations of working American families and business owners. We will Fight On!”
