Las Vegas, NV – Today, Nevada Republican Party Chairman Tarkanian released the following statement on President Obama’s State of the Union Address:
 
“It is abundantly clear that this president has given up on governing and used the State of the Union address more as a campaign prop than actual forum to put ideas forth that will get America back on track.  We’ve heard this all before.  Despite unfulfilled promises and failed economic policies from previous State of the Union Addresses, Barack Obama tried to use tonight as a platform to boost his campaign, but Americans deserve better.  This speech reeked of desperation and it is clear that Barack Obama’s team in Chicago is worried about the continual rejection of his broken promises and failed economic policies,” said Chairman Tarkanian.
 
“The fact remains, Nevada has the highest unemployment and one of highest foreclosure rates in the Nation. This president has absolutely no record to run on, which is why you listened to another speech with flowery metaphors, promises, and a doubling down on failed economic policies.  It didn’t work previously, and it won’t work again.  Fortunately for America, day after day, voters are beginning to realize that Barack Obama is wrong for our nation and they are ready to make him a one term president,” continued Chairman Tarkanian.
