Noem Reacts to President’s Final State of the Union Address

Representative Kristi Noem today issued the following statement in reaction to President Obama’s final State of the Union address:

“The picture President Obama tried to paint tonight is a starkly different image than what most people see in their own backyard. We live in a world where wages are stagnant, the institutions set up to care for our veterans, seniors, and Native Americans are failing at the most basic levels, and few people are confident in the state of our national security. I believe we can do better.  We have a responsibility to rebuild our economy and give more opportunities to every American.  We must strengthen our national security, restoring American leadership and giving people greater peace of mind.  We must reenergize the American Dream, using it to inspire our next generation to imagine and achieve a better world for their families and our nation. I believe in better than what President Obama’s policies and tonight’s speech offered and I’m hopeful we can achieve it.”
