Congressman Chris Murphy (CT-5) released the following statement after President Obama's State of the Union address.

"The President faced a tough crowd tonight, both sitting in Congress and watching at home in Connecticut. The economy isn't as healthy as we need it to be, the health insurance reform bill is in limbo, and there is a level of anxiety across the state.

"But no matter how angry people are, President Obama reminded us that we can't let our frustration stand in the way of action - action to cut back on spending, focus on fixing the economy for the middle class and our small businesses, and find a way to pass sensible health insurance reform.

"From Buy American legislation to tax breaks for small businesses which create jobs now, I'm ready to act with ideas that will invest in Connecticut's workers for the long haul."
