WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Steve King tonight made the following statement in response to President Obama’s State of the Union address.

“President Obama's health care plan was killed in Massachusetts by the election of Scott Brown. He has shut out every Republican proposal despite making a public promise to work with Republicans. He did not respond to repeated requests for meetings and repeated letters. There is no reason to take him seriously now.

"The President claimed that he is fulfilling his campaign promise on Iraq by pulling troops out. His campaign promise was to accept defeat and retreat from Iraq. But the surge achieved victory with honor allowing our troops to come home victorious and on schedule with President Bush's November 17, 2008 plan."
