Jack spoke on the House floor today about the “Washington knows best” approach taken by President Obama to force through his socialized medicine proposal.

If Washington knew best, these would have worked. It’s time to slow down the discussion and look at the failures of the past so we don’t repeat the same mistakes again.
President Obama changes course on the stimulus. Where are the jobs? House Republicans offer a real plan to create jobs and get our economy moving again. To view the Obama vs Obama video click here.

Congressman Jack Kingston (R/GA-1) speaks on the floor of the House about the need for more openess in debating issues.
