(Undated) -- Pennsylvania’s Republican U.S. senator says he will be listening closely to President Obama’s speech next week on his plan to create jobs and jumpstart economic growth. Senator Pat Toomey says he’ll be listening for the President’s jobs plan to include a word about change. Not campaign-theme change, he says, but a change in the administration’s attitude toward government spending. "I hope that there’s some awareness, some realization that the huge deficit spending hasn’t worked," he says. "That the idea that the government can borrow and spend America to prosperity has failed and that the president will acknowledge that and move on a different path. " Toomey says he hopes Mr. Obama acknowledges that regulations have become too burdensome for business. The president plans to explain his proposal to shrink the unemployment rate in a special address during a joint session of Congress next Thursday. The speech was rescheduled from its original time, after raising Republican ire that it would distract from a GOP presidential candidate debate in California slated for Wednesday.
