Chairman Villere Comments on President Obama’s State of the Union Address

“It is clear that President Obama has given up on governing and used the State of the Union address more as a campaign prop.”

METAIRIE, LA – This evening, Republican Party of Louisiana Chairman Roger F. Villere, Jr. released the following statement on President Obama’s State of the Union Address:

“It is abundantly clear that this president has given up on governing and used the State of the Union address more as a campaign prop than actual forum to put ideas forth that will get America back on track. We’ve heard this all before.  Despite unfulfilled promises and failed economic policies from his previous State of the Union Addresses, Barack Obama tried to use tonight as a platform to boost his campaign, but Americans deserve better.  This speech reeked of desperation and it is clear that Barack Obama’s team in Chicago is worried about the continual rejection of his broken promises and failed economic policies,” said Chairman Villere.

“President Obama has absolutely no record to run on, which is why we listened to another speech with metaphors, promises, and a doubling down on failed economic policies.  It didn’t work previously, and it won’t work again.  Fortunately for America, day after day, voters are beginning to realize that Barack Obama is wrong for our nation and they are ready to make him a one term president,” Villere said.
