WOW, WOWIE, WOW WOW!

After watching the President present his state of the Union, I watched the "Republican Response" by Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana.

Listening carefully or reading the text of this response, one might think Daniels' speech was either a condemnation of his own party or an endorsement of Obama, his goals and his agenda.

Huff Post Mitch Daniels Response To State Of The Union: Text

For instance:


"The President did not cause the economic and fiscal crises that continue in America tonight."


"Decades ago, for instance, we could afford to send millionaires pension checks and pay medical bills for even the wealthiest among us. Now, we can't, so the dollars we have should be devoted to those who need them most."


"we also must work, in ways we Republicans have not always practiced, to bring Americans together."


"A second view, which I admit some Republicans also seem to hold, is that we Americans are no longer up to the job of self-government."


Yes, these are small snippets of his response, but the entirety is clear, other than petty partisanship and negativity, Daniels has nothing to offer or suggest to solve the problems this country faces. 


Just complaining that you do not like the way the President suggests solving a problem is not sufficient. 
Just bashing the slow economic recovery is ridiculous, especially when Republican divisiveness has constrained the growth. 
Just complaining that the government might take away your rights by by setting energy policy controlling the use of incandescent bulbs is nothing more than silly scare tactics.
