Santa Ana — Tonight, President Obama delivered his first State of the Union address. The message was clear, and the administration has renewed its promise to focusing on our economy and creating jobs. At a time when 58 percent of the American people feel the nation is headed in the wrong direction, President Obama is attempting to bring the focus back on moving in the right direction, and that is the direction of job creation and fixing the budget.

“I appreciate that President Obama is changing his tone and focusing his efforts on bringing his policies to be more what America wants and needs. However, I feel there was not nearly enough of an emphasis on creating jobs,” says Assemblyman Van Tran, candidate for the 47th congressional district. “What we need is an economic plan that focuses on getting people back to work, not government overspending. My first priorities are creating jobs, cutting out wasteful government spending to fix the budget, and to get rid of the red tape our government creates for business.”

President Obama also spoke at length about the need for healthcare reform. He renewed his promise to the American people for transparency of governmental practices, something that he admitted was missing in current negotiations.

“Contrary to popular belief, we support healthcare reform, but the current bill is too big, and attempts to do too many things at once,” says Assemblyman Tran. “What we need to focus on is how to reign in these ideas, and pass a responsible bill that provides quality healthcare coverage without breaking the bank.”
