         AMERICANS DESERVE A BETTER LEADER THAN PRESIDENT BIDEN

  (Mr. LANGWORTHY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, in his State of the Union Address last 
night, President Biden chose to give a divisive campaign speech instead 
of bringing Americans together with a hopeful vision for the future.
  He completely failed to take ownership of his disastrous border 
policies and weak leadership, and instead tried to pass the blame on 
House Republicans.
  President Biden tried to pass the blame for the border crisis he 
created by executive order, pushed for legislation that would codify 
his bad policies, and failed to mention that House Republicans passed 
H.R. 2, the strongest border bill in history that has been sitting in 
the Senate on Chuck Schumer's desk since last May.
  Last night, President Biden claimed that we have the best economy in 
the world. The American people aren't buying that lie. They have to pay 
for Biden's inflationary policies every single day from groceries to 
gas to energy bills and housing.
  The American Dream is unaffordable under President Joe Biden. He 
single-handedly created the crisis at our borders, crushed our economy, 
crippled the American energy sector, plunged us deeper into debt, 
enabled violent crime in our major cities, and made it harder to raise 
a family or own a business in the United States. Americans deserve a 
better leader than Joe Biden.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Lawler). Members are reminded to refrain 
from engaging in personalities toward the President.
