oped: FoxNews did not cover Mike Lee's response...instead chose the Middle of the road Moderate female GOP Rep from Washington State...which in fact was akin to Obama's State of the Union address...just rhetoric and platitudes no resolve and just plain boring and annoying!
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Republican
Sen. Mike Lee was the face of the national tea party Tuesday night,
delivering the movement’s response to President Barack Obama’s State of
the Union speech.
Lee pinned the widening wealth gap on
the president’s policies and tout the ideas of a new generation of
leaders including himself and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
“Americans know in their hearts that
something is wrong. Much of what is wrong relates to the sense that the
`American Dream’ is falling out of reach for far too many of us,” Lee
said in his prepared remarks. “We are facing an inequality crisis – one
to which the president has paid lip-service, but seems uninterested in
truly confronting or correcting.”
At various points in his response, Lee kindly mentioned fellow Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
Obama plans to use the State of the
Union to announce executive actions to raise the minimum wage for new
federal contracts, help the long-term unemployed find work and expand
job-training programs.
Lee, an attorney who is halfway through
his first term, was chosen by Tea Party Express because he is a
recognized leader who is popular among the GOP base because of the
message he delivers about improving the economy and reducing the size,
cost and intrusiveness of the federal government, said Sal Russo,
co-founder of the organization. Tea Party Express is a national group
representing the movement.
