Alexander: In State of the Union Speech, President Should Focus on Jobs, Debt and National Security

U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) released the following prepared remarks delivered on January 25, 2010:

"To reconnect with the American people in his State of the Union address, creating jobs should be President Barack Obama's first subject, reining in the national debt his second, and terrorism his third.

"Then, it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit if he stopped his speech there and focused his unswerving attention until he has jobs, debt and terror all headed in a better direction. After all, the president struggled in his first year not only because his agenda veered too far left, but because he took too many big bites of too many apples and tried to swallow them all at once."

Republicans absolutely want this president to fail...how would it look if we have one of the most intelligent president in history to bring this country out of the worst economic period. Thanks to the republicans 8 years of no leadership, what is another 4 years to them all they have to do is drag there feet and fight this president on every issue until 2012....and then try to blame him for lack of progress, the oldest trick in the book. BUT WE ARE ON TO YOU Shame on the Republicans.
