Boehner To Obama: Listen To America, Change Course

From soon-to-be Speaker of the House, John Boehner:
With their voices and their votes, the American people are demanding a new way forward in Washington.  And I’m here tonight to tell you that our new majority will be prepared to do things differently… to take a new approach that hasn’t been tried before in Washington – by either party.

• It starts with cutting spending instead of increasing it.
• Reducing the size of government instead of expanding it.
• Reforming the way Congress works and giving government back to the people.
• And for all those families asking ‘where are the jobs?,’ it means ending the uncertainty in our economy and helping small businesses get people back to work.

The people’s priorities will be our priorities.  The people’s agenda will be our agenda.  This is our Pledge to America … this is our pledge to you!
While our new majority will serve as your voice in the people’s House, we must remember it is the president who sets the agenda for our government.  The American people have sent an unmistakable message to him tonight, and that message is: “change course.”
We hope President Obama will now respect the will of the people, change course, and commit to making the changes they are demanding.
