SACRAMENTO – Speaker Fabian Núñez (D-Los Angeles) today released the following response to President Bush’s State of the Union Address:

“In his final State of the Union Address George W. Bush reminded us why America is so eager to move on from his misguided and myopic approach. First he has the gall to criticize Congress for undermining trust in government when he and Dick Cheney have done all they can to undermine that trust. Then, we’re served a lukewarm rehash of inadequate responses to the health care crisis and hear only lip service and loopholes instead of real leadership on climate change. Given the economic downturn and the mortgage meltdown, Californians wanted to hear real plans from their President. Thankfully, Speaker Pelosi and California’s Democratic Congressional delegation have been keeping working families’ interests at the forefront of efforts to jump start the economy.”
