Inhofe Responds to Obama 2012 State of the Union

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) responds to President Obama's 2012 State of the Union Address.

Highlights:
"It was a campaign stump speech, and it is clear that President Obama believes the best way to keep his job is to continue to promote class warfare in America and blame Republicans in Congress. Not surprisingly, he took credit for successes that he has actively fought against."

"The best thing for American manufacturing is for President Obama to get out of the way. The Obama Administration's overly intrusive regulations are killing jobs in America."

"What he couldn't achieve through legislation, he is achieving through heavy-handed regulations. In fact, the cost all these regulations put together add up to about the same as Obama's national deficit, which is a recipe for economic disaster."

"President Obama continued his double-speak on energy. As his re-election approaches, he understands that especially in a weak economy, Americans want the hundreds of thousands of jobs, the affordable energy prices, and the increased energy security that fossil fuel development brings. But while he talks the talk, his actions clearly show that he is still determined to shut down oil, gas and coal development so that energy prices will, as he said himself, 'necessarily skyrocket.'"

"He believes that fairness should be mandated and imposed through bigger government, more regulations, higher taxes and wealth redistribution. I couldn't disagree more. American values are not found in government imposed fairness, but rather through increased liberty, personal responsibility, and individual charity. The unique greatness of America is found in the goodness of our people, not the strong arm of government."

"Now as usual, he was eloquent. Some of the things he said tonight, like reforming our tax code and investing in our nation's infrastructure, sounded good. But, as usual, despite his eloquence, his actions defy his rhetoric."

@stephenabm Micky Mouse has a better chance of getting elected than Ron Paul does. How did Obama destroy our economy? Im sure Wallstreet had done that before he got elected, but maybe you know shit we dont, explain? How did Obama take away 6 million homes?

There is no Global Warming, this is a big fraud that has no evidence. Ron Paul 2012!

[stephenabm]

Good response! Obama needs to be out in November and Ron Paul in the White House. Obama has destroyed our economy and over 6,000,000 American families have lost their homes due to his many failures.
