After the jump, read the full statement issued by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in response to President Obama's State of the Union address:
“Like the President, Senate Democrats are focused on putting Americans back to work, protecting struggling homeowners, strengthening our national security and ensuring affordable health insurance.“President Obama engaged America in a conversation about what has worked, what needs improvement and how we can move forward together. Senate Democrats view the challenge of cleaning up the mess we inherited as an opportunity to set our nation back on the path to progress and prosperity.
“Nevadans and all Americans should know that their leaders in Washington understand their struggles and have a plan to relieve them. Jobs are still too few, health care is still too scarce and expensive, foreclosures are still too frequent and our energy future is still too treacherous. With thousands of Nevadans and millions of Americans under this tremendous pressure to make ends meet, now is no time to let up. As the President expressed tonight, we are moving full speed ahead in bringing about the meaningful change that we were sent to Washington to deliver.”

Oh, God - NOT Harry Reid!
This man is out by 2010. So talk,talk, until november.
excuse me harry, you've been in power for three years, did you inherit this mess from yourself?
Reid should stop deal making on healthcare and pass healthcare reform with a public option. Period.
more of the same bunk lets just stay the course just like the last idiot give me a break
weren't you asleep
Coakleyd: A politician in a "safe" seat with lots of support from bigwig party members, or just historically safe, gets beat by an unknown in the last weeks of the campaign. i.e. Due to her extreme arrogance the first female Speaker of the House was Coakleyd in 2010.
stick togeather all you demos. The repos are a mess
We'll be broke but healthy and still unemployed Harry Reid.
President Obama gave a great speech. i found him tough, sincere and hopeful. President Obama is a very sincere president who cares about the american people and wants to give a chance to middle class and poor people. But the republicans who are power hungry will never allow Obama to succeed. they said if we defeat Obama's health care bill it will be Obama's waterloo. get rid of the republicans and America will be a better place. you need to spend or get a magic wand.
I think it's time for Reid to step down, he has become a liability for the Democrats.
