Radanovich reaction to President Obama's speech: vital to keep hard earned money

From the inbox last night, a Republican's awkward embrace of the speech but wariness about possible new taxes:


Congressman George Radanovich (R-Mariposa) released the following statement tonight after President Obama addres
sed a joint session of Congress:

“Tonight, watching Barack Obama deliver an address to a joint session of Congress is an historic moment that we all should appreciate.

“I stand with the President in his commitment to getting our economy back on track, creating jobs and confronting the challenges facing America so that we may create a brighter future for our children.

“Unfortunatly, while the President and I share many of the same goals for economic recovery and the future of America, we may not share the same means to achieve those goals. The Administration has already hinted that they wish to raise taxes on small businesses and family farms—a devastating proposal during an economic recession.

“It is vital to the recovery of our economy that Americans are allowed to keep more of their hard earned money.

“I look forward to working with the President to better the future of our nation, but the real reason behind America’s continued success will be the integrity, innovation, and strong work ethic of the American people.”

George Radanovich is a GOP hack still toeing the same line that he and his party used to bring down the country and economy. He voted to bail out the auto industry with tax payers money but whoa to taxing companies in an equitable way to cover these safety nets. There is a reason he lost in his prior attempts at office. He tries to look like he's for the little guy now. Ha.
