Congressman Rich Nugent has offered his critique of President Obama’s State of the Union this past week, and not surprisingly, it was less than favorable.
“Seventy percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track, even the President’s biggest supporters have trouble defending his foreign policy decisions, and the threats just keep getting worse,” Nugent, a Republican who represents The Villages, said in his weekly message from Washington D.C.
“Instead of taking some responsibility, he just did what he always does – lecture, lecture, and … lecture,” Nugent added.
He suggested that even Obama’s fellow Democrats are growing tired of his rhetoric.
“The most striking thing was actually seeing the television coverage panning the room showing virtually every congressional Democrat looking tired and bored. It was a pretty sad sight for our country,” Nugent said.
The former Hernando County sheriff is not running for re-election. Nugent has endorsed former staffer Justin Grabelle as his successor.
