Here is GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bradley Byrne’s take on Mr. Obama’s State of the Union Address:

__________________________

Bradley Byrne:

“America cannot afford the spending path charted by President Obama and his Democrats in Congress. The focus must be on creating jobs, not creating larger debt.  A good government fosters private sector growth by paving the way, not getting in the way, and only then are jobs created.

“Alabama cannot wait on Washington.  We will not emerge from this recession by waiting for our taxes to be redistributed in the form of bigger government and more federal intrusion.  The challenges facing our home state are great, but our resolve is greater.  We will provide the right support for business and industry, we will train the best workers in America, and we, in Alabama, will create an environment that is second to none for attracting capital investment and allowing our small businesses to thrive, and jobs will be created.”
