Boxer Statement on President's State of the Union Address
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) made the following statement tonight after President Obama delivered the State of the Union:
“Tonight, our President made clear that he will not quit until our country is on the right track.
“He was both inspirational and realistic about the state of our union, and reflected the hopes, optimism and spirit of the American people.
“He clearly told the story of how we got to this tough place, the mistaken policies of the past, and the difficult work that still lies ahead to create jobs and help middle-class families.
“He laid out a plan for how we will prosper once again if we have the courage to continue fighting for change.
“This change includes a focus on jobs, clean energy and infrastructure, support for our nation’s small businesses, and assisting our families with larger child care tax credits and higher education incentives.
“As we carry out these priorities, I agree with our President that we must be fiscally responsible, finish our work on health care, and protect Americans from Wall Street abuses.”
