Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, in the Republicans' official response to the president's State of the Union address Tuesday night, will accuse the president of obstructing the United States' growth and take aim at Obama for "efforts to divide" the American people, according to excerpts released of his prepared remarks.
"No feature of the Obama Presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others," Daniels, former budget director for George W. Bush, is set to say in a speech to be delivered moments after the conclusion of the president's address. "As in previous moments of national danger, we Americans are all in the same boat."
Daniels will also criticize Obama for rejecting the Keystone Pipeline project and other energy-related measures--cases of "extremism," he'll say, by the Obama administration.
The governor, who was heavily courted to run for president this cycle, is also planning to stand up for Republicans in Washington in his speech.
"It's not fair and it's not true for the President to attack Republicans in Congress as obstacles on these questions," Daniels will say. "They and they alone have passed bills to reduce borrowing, reform entitlements, and encourage new job creation, only to be shot down nearly time and again by the President and his Democrat Senate allies."
