This was sent out from Gary Johnson’s campaign in response to President Obama’s State of the Union speech last night:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf the idea tonight was that the President would fulfill his constitutional duty to give us \u2018information of the State of the Union\u2019, we should be able to expect some truth. I didn\u2019t hear much truth. Truth is that the real unemployment rate is probably still above 10%. Truth is that after all the hand-wringing and deals of the past couple of years, instead of cutting spending, the President and Congress are going back to the well for another $1.2 Trillion debt limit increase. And the truth is we are seeing nothing from either the President or the Republicans that will really change any of those unacceptable realities.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly in the twilight zone that is Washington could a President who has bailed out and stimulated our economy to death stand in the Capitol and declare there should be \u2018no bailouts, no handouts, and no cop-outs\u2019. Can anyone spell GM or TARP or Solyndra?<\/p>\n
\u201cThe President said we deserve a government that plays by the same rules as millions of hard-working Americans. Perhaps that should begin with the government not borrowing and printing 43 cents of every dollar it spends — something hard-working Americans can\u2019t and don\u2019t do.<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil we see a real plan — not a Washington smoke and mirrors plan — that puts a stop to deficit spending and really puts America back to work, all of this rhetoric is just wasted breath.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
