South Carolina Permanently Burns Bridge With Obama In This Epic Stand Against Him South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley carried the opinions of all Republicans across the country in her address to Obama at the SOTU. The Presidents record has often fallen far short of his soaring words. As he enters his final year in office, many Americans are still feeling the squeeze of an economy too weak to raise income levels. Were feeling a crushing national debt, a health care plan that has made insurance less affordable and doctors less available, and chaotic unrest in many of our cities. Even worse, we are facing the most dangerous terrorist threat our nation has seen since September 11th, and this president appears either unwilling or unable to deal with it. Soon, the Obama presidency will end, and America will have the chance to turn in a new direction. That direction is what I want to talk about tonight. I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants who reminded my brothers, my sister and me every day how blessed we were to live in this countryMy story is really not much different from millions of other Americans. Immigrants have been coming to our shores for generations to live the dream that is AmericaToday, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. If we held the White House, taxes would be lower for working families, and wed put the brakes on runaway spending and debtWe would make international agreements that were celebrated in Israel and protested in Iran, not the other way around. And rather than just thanking our brave men and women in uniform, we would actually strengthen our military, so both our friends and our enemies would know that America seeks peace, but when we fight wars we win them. South Carolina has our support. Do you agree with Gov. Nikki Haley?
