                 MORE EMPTY WORDS AT STATE OF THE UNION

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, for the past 7 years, President Obama has 
given us 47,625 words of meaningless rhetoric. Last night's State of 
the Union address was more of the same empty words.
  President Obama has never adequately focused on what really matters 
in this country: keeping America safe and defending our cherished 
freedoms.
  Instead, he wants to maintain the status quo and continues to promote 
top-down, one-size-fits-all Federal dictates that stymie economic 
growth. It is clear he doesn't understand the solutions that will get 
our Nation back on track with the American people, not Washington 
bureaucrats.
  President Obama promised hope and change, but his failed agenda has 
brought the wrong kind of change, and many North Carolinians are losing 
hope.
  Fortunately, Republicans are committed to restoring confidence in 
America and empowering her people to make their own decisions and 
pursue their own dreams.
