                      MATCHING WORDS WITH ACTIONS?

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, that speech last night was 
just like other speeches that this President has given. He is a great 
public speaker, but unfortunately, after the State of the Union is 
over, and he has had a chance to act, Willie's actions never match his 
words.
  He talked about a secure future, yet he this very week is demanding 
that Congress raise the debt limit and increase the burden on our 
children. He talks about the importance of educating our children, yet 
he continually relies on bureaucrats in Washington to dictate how we 
educate our kids. Just like the last three State of the Union 
addresses, the delivery was great, but that is about it. He is a 
liberal who is ferociously fighting for big government, higher taxes 
and Washington control over every part of our lives. It is still the 
same old Bill Clinton. Our Republican ideal is for a better America for 
our kids: lower taxes, less government, and power back to the people. 
Our prayer is that the President holds our same views.
