    By Congressman Robert Hurt

    This past week, President Obama delivered his annual State of the Union address on the same day that marked the 1000th day since the United States Senate has last passed a budget.

  • A first-rate SOTU address

    My president and yours, Barack Obama, last week rendered a very fine State of the Union address, one that the media noted “might be his last.”
        We’ll see about that…But the 44th President of the United States laid out the case for his common sense agenda of job growth, tax relief for the middle class, and increased taxes on the super rich.
