House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) today blasted President Barack Obama's address to the nation Tuesday night and his administration's handling of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
"The tragedy unfolding on our coast is the most painful and powerful reminder yet that the time to embrace a clean energy future is now," said the President during his prime-time address from the Oval Office.
Boehner harshly criticized the President's motives; "I don't think President Obama should exploit this crisis by imposing a national energy tax."
"Using this tragedy in the Gulf Coast as an excuse to have a national energy tax...is not the right thing for the country and we should put a stop to it," he added.
The top House Republican continued, showing his strong opposition to the administration's recent health care reform and economic stimulus legislation.
"Under the President's watch, Democrats have become 'spend-aholics' who can't restrain themselves...Democrats have lost every shred of credibility when it comes to managing taxpayer dollars."
According to Boehner, the President has "so far overreached, and so fast, that he's lost the confidence of the American people."
