Gov. Mike Huckabee Responds to Pres. Obama's State of the Union
 
Little Rock, Ark. - Former Arkansas Governor and 2008 Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee issued the following response to President Obama's 2015 State of the Union:

 "There are two things certain about the Obama administration - debt and taxes. I'm not surprised that in this State of the Union address, President Obama will introduce another plan for more taxes.   

 "After growing our national debt by $7.5 trillion dollars since taking office, it's ridiculous for the president to propose $320 billion dollars in new taxes. Fortunately, the American people sent a resounding message of rejection to his liberal polices in November, and Republicans in the House and Senate will be able to push back on President Obama's big-spending agenda.  

"The president's plan for free community college sounds good in theory, but it's entirely irresponsible.  Once again, he fails to recognize that hard working taxpayers foot the bill for all of his liberal giveaways.

"President Obama needs to stop just talking about bipartisanship and actually start a meaningful dialogue with members of our Republican-controlled congress.  The State of the Union is a good place to put down his pen and phone and roll up his sleeves to begin the consensus building."
