There Will Be No Formal Republican Response To Job-Killer’s Jobs Speech
Tweet
There will be no formal Republican response to President Obama’s jobs speech on Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) office announced Tuesday.
“Republicans are, and have been, entirely focused on job creation,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said. “Every Member of Congress, and – more importantly – the American people, will provide a reaction to the president’s address. We trust in the good judgment of the American people, and the president’s proposals will rise or fall on their own merits.”
On Thursday, in front of a joint session of Congress Obama is set to unveil a new set of plans for job creation.
Republicans have criticized Obama for waiting until Congress returned from recess to lay out the plan rather than over the summer shortly after the White House announced a new plan was in the works.
Boehner also balked at the White House’s original request for a Wednesday night speech and asked the president to delay a day until Thursday.
