Washington, D.C. – In advance of President Obama’s speech tonight during the Joint Session, Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26) released the following statement. “For the fifth time since taking office, President Obama will come to Capitol Hill and speak to Congress and the American people. While I welcome the president’s participation in a dialogue, I hope that his speech will not be the same rhetoric without action. For the past two-and-a-half years, the Obama administration has pushed a legislative agenda that included failed short-term stimulus measures, higher taxes, increased regulations, and a government overhaul of the health care system. All resulting in higher unemployment and an economy that struggles to recover. We can do better.
