Congressman Steve Womack released the below statement regarding President Obama’s jobs speech to a joint session of Congress earlier Thursday night:
“The speech came across as a lecture to Congress, and I felt as though he was framing the discussion in such a way as to ensure that any blame that comes from a failure to create jobs goes directly to the legislative branch.
