Hensarling Skeptical Obama Can Keep Promises

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A congressman who represents much of East Texas has given the Republicans’ weekly media message. President Obama delivers the State of Union address tomorrow night. But Republican Congressman Jeb Hensarling is skeptical the president can keep his promises to make things better. And Hensarling also took at shot at the Senate, saying, “As the president takes to the podium to address the nation, we will be marking 1,000 days since the Democrat-controlled Senate has even bothered to pass a budget.” Hensarling used the weekly GOP media address over the weekend to say that Obama’s policies “haven’t just failed to make the economy better, they have actually made it worse.”
