WASHINGTON, DC- Congressman Jeff Landry (R, LA-03) released the following statement after he declined the President's invitation to the White House this morning:
"I have respectfully declined the President's invitation to the White House today. I don't intend to spend my morning being lectured to by a President whose failed policies have put our children and grandchildren in a huge burden of debt. Over the past two years, President Obama and congressional Democrats have overseen the largest budget deficits in U.S. history. On top of that, the President's budget adds $1.3 trillion to our national debt every year for the next ten years - a budget that failed to muster a single vote in the Senate. Until the President produces a responsible deficit reduction plan, I'm not going to the White House to negotiate with myself. Our conference has put out for months where we would start the process. The President has done nothing, just like he has for the people of the Gulf Coast. For months, the Louisiana delegation has sent the President numerous requests to meet with him or his chief of staff concerning the de facto moratorium issued in the Gulf of Mexico, a de facto moratorium that has driven gas prices up and now threatens to derail economic recovery; the President hasn't even had the courtesy to write us a note back. I refuse to partake in his political grandstanding that will ultimately do nothing for debt reduction and job creation."

Good. If only more Republicans had the testicular fortitude to tell hussein to stick it in his ear, we might actually reverse some of the damage he's doing.

Good. Put the ball back in the Dems' court, where it belongs.

Outstanding.
Maybe more Repubs ought to "just say no".

Boehner has. Don't know if he has since becoming SoH, but I know he did shortly before. He refused to attend some bigwig dinner at the White House. I remember reading about it...got a lot of flack over being so rude as to refuse an invitation to the WH.

On why going to the White House is stupid if you are a Republican or conservative:
Yes, come on down, and sit mutely as as President Obama insults you repeatedly while controlling the microphone and camera.

Good for Landry. Obama has caused the loss of thousands of good paying jobs and millions in state revenues here in Louisiana. I hope we get a candidate for Prez that will nail his balls to the walls on the energy issue.
