Serrano Reacts to Obama's Speech

“I commend President Obama for yet again speaking to the nation with a clear voice about the problems we face. It is refreshing to have a President who does not seek to give us the easy answers all the time, but instead calls for us to work together to fix our problems.

“I look forward to working with President Obama on many of his legislative proposals. When his budget comes out later this week, I am sure it will build on his campaign message of hope and change as well as last night’s message of responsibility.

“It is fitting that the address came during Black History Month. President Obama’s story alone reminds us that our nation is always capable of breaking boundaries  and overcoming historic barriers. I applaud him for his achievements and look forward to working with him in the coming session.”
