GOP, democratic leaders weigh in on State of the Union

The chairman of the York County Democratic Party says President Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night was a campaign speech. 

Richards McCray said on today’s edition of Palmetto Mornings on WRHI that the speech was a vision of what the president would do if he’s re-elected in November.

McCray says the address emphasized job creation.

Meanwhile, Fifth District Congressman Mick Mulvaney, an Indian Land Republican, says Obama’s address was more of the same and contained nothing new or different.

Mulvaney said on Palmetto Mornings that the president suggests that tax incentives be given to companies that create jobs here, when in reality companies are not given tax incentives to return home.

Mulvaney says that’s wrong and not an incentive for companies to create jobs overseas.
